Troy kinda represented our performance tonight, we really played hard.&quot;Also admirable were Holt&#x27;s 15 markers, two dimes, and two boards, Justine Brownlee&#x27;s 19 points and 10 rebounds, and Japeth Aguilar&#x27;s 11 markers, eight boards, and five assists, while Scottie Thompson stuffed the stats sheet with eight points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists, and one steal.Down 21-18 early in the second period, the Gin Kings went on an 11-to-three spurt in a span of three minutes for a 29-21 advantage all thanks to baskets from RJ Abarrientos, Aguilar, Rosario, and Thompson.A three-pointer by Rosario with still 1:28 left in the first half then gave Ginebra a 45-28 lead, but San Miguel showed signs of life in the second half to bring themselves within striking distance at multiple points.One came after an Andreas Cahilig triple with still 9:32 in the game, cutting their deficit to 10, 69-59, but Rosario and Brownlee answered with a trey and a deuce, respectively, to bring their lead back to 15, 74-59.A late push by Jabari Narcis at the 1:46 mark of the fourth brought SMB to nine, 88-79, but Brownlee put on the finishing touches which allowed Ginebra to improve to 5-2 in the team standings. On the other hand, the Beermen, who leaned on Narcis&#x27; 17 markers and 10 boards game, and June Mar Fajardo&#x27;s 12-point, 23-rebound game, fell to below .500, 3-4.<div>The Scores:</div>Ginebra 93 – Rosario 22, Brownlee 19, Holt 15, J.Aguilar 11, Thompson 8, Abarrientos 8, Ahanmisi 7, CCu 3, Adamos 0.San Miguel 81 – Narcis 17, Perez 14, Tiongson 12, Fajardo 12, Cruz 9, Lassiter 6, Cahilig 6, Ross 3, Tautuaa 2, Brondial 0, Enciso 0.Quarterscores:  16-16, 47-31, 66-50, 93-81.<div>RELATED VIDEO: <script data-wid="auto" type="text/javascript" src="https://content.viralize.tv/display/?zid=AAEyze-tm4MR6kEa&amp;cid=ABSp7ne-cpgvh6BH&amp;activation=click&amp;vip_mode=playing&amp;vip_position=bottom-right"></script></div>
