PBA Live Stream & Replay: Ginebra vs. Petron, Rain or Shine vs. Global Port - Gov's Cup Quarterfinal Preview, Schedule & Boxscore
PBA Live Stream - After surviving a rubber match with Talk N' Text, Ginebra San Miguel will now take on its sister team Petron Boosters for a spot in the Gov's Cup semifinals. Meanwhile, Rain or Shine's kick starts its title defense in the playoffs against Global Port, who recently booked its first quarterfinal stint since joining the league.
Rain or Shine vs. Global Port - 5:15 p.m
Rain or Shine, the reigning Governors Cup champion, finished the elimination round with a 5-4 record, allowing them to secure the third spot along with the twice-to-beat incentive in the quarterfinal round.
Import Arizona Reid has been superb throughout the entire elimination round, while point guard Paul Lee, Jeff Chan and Gabe Norwood provided steady contribution for the locals.
Global Port, on the other hand, enters the knockout stages for the first time in franchise history thanks to a monster effort by newly-acquired forward Jay Washington. Washington scored 30 points against last week's crucial game against Ginebra and he is expected once again to lead the locals against a very physical Elasto Painters squad. Of course, import Markeith Cummings will be there to give them a much-needed scoring punch.
"Compete! That would be our battlecry for our series with Rain or Shine," said GlobalPort coach Junel Baculi according to Phil Inquirer, who likes his team's underdog tag just fine.
Petron vs. Ginebra
In a battle between two proud franchises, expect top-level basketball at its finest as Petron stakes its incredible winning streak against the never-say-die Ginebra San Miguel.
Petron's MVP frontrunner Arwind Santos is up to provide double-double numbers while former MVP Marc Caguiao is out to give his team a boost on the offensive end.
Of course, all eyes will be on the match-up between Best Import of the Conference leading candidate Elijiah Millsap of Petron and Dior Lowhorn of Ginebra. The two hard-working imports already met at the start of the conference with Petron winning the game 101-95 to start their hot streak.
