inquirer.net February 4, 2025, 11:00 PM UTC

Barangay Ginebra defeated Meralco 91-87 in their last game, but coach Tim Cone believes this result has little significance for their upcoming playoff series. He noted that key players did not participate fully in that match. Cone highlighted the importance of Meralco's import, Akil Mitchell, who missed the last game due to injury. Mitchell has been crucial for the Bolts, contributing to their strong record when he plays. In another matchup, Converge will face Rain or Shine, both teams featuring young talent. Converge previously won against Rain or Shine, setting the stage for a competitive series.
