Hopefully our team learned the lessons. This is a big game that could’ve slide us into the top four now it’s going to be a battle for us.
Barangay Ginebra’s worst loss of the conference against Meralco Sunday night made head coach Tim Cone question the team’s ability to go deep in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Governors’ Cup.
The Gin Kings suffered a 77-101 defeat from the Bolts that denied them the chance to secure the quarterfinal seat.
And Cone offered no excuses in their 24-point beating as the multi-titled mentor said Meralco simply dominated them in all aspects of the one-sided game.
“Not much to say. They beat us black and blue and they beat us in all pace of the game tonight,” Cone said.

“We played in the game playing with our reputation and didn’t put the work in and if you don’t put the work in this is the kind of results you got,” he added.
Ginebra was doomed from the start and trailed early as the Bolts, who clinched the third quarterfinals berth, outrebounded them (56-38) and shot better from the field.
Import Justin Brownlee was outclassed by his rival Allen Durham as he was limited to just 18 points. LA Tenorio was the lone local player with double figures for Cone with just 12 markers.
“Hopefully our team learned the lessons. This is a big game that could’ve slide us into the top four now it’s going to be a battle for us. It’s just a terrible overall performance,” said Cone as his team dropped to 5-3.
“No one like it now. Its not a good place to be right now. This is a big loss in terms of standings but also in terms of trust and the things we do we just didn’t do it tonight,” he added.
Ginebra needs to win at least of its last three games to secure a spot in the next round and sweep will put the Gin Kings in a better position for a top four finish for the twice-to-beat incentive.
They play TNT KaTropa this Friday, Columbian Dyip on 15 November and NorthPort on 17 November.
