Ginebra tests Phoenix mettle

Games today:

(Philsports Arena)

5 p.m. — Converge vs NorthPort

7:30 p.m. — Phoenix vs Ginebra

Barangay Ginebra aims to keep its lofty spot in the top four in a clash with Phoenix in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Philippine Cup today at the Philsports Arena in Pasig City.

Coming off a big win in an out-of-town game last Saturday, the Kings charge back into action eyeing a second straight victory after the dust settles in the main game slated to explode at 7:30 p.m.

Meanwhile, Converge and NorthPort square off at 5 p.m., both seeking a rebound.

But all eyes will be on Ginebra as it tries to steady its campaign from blowing hot and cold.

The Kings sport a 3-2 card tied with idle Rain or Shine for a share of fourth spot behind San Miguel Beer’s 4-2 slate.

Magnolia holds the top spot with a perfect 6-0 record followed by streaking NLEX (5-1).

Ginebra got back on track from a previous loss with an 85-66 blowout of the FiberXers last Saturday in Pampanga.

Japeth Aguilar put on a show in front of his Kabalens, firing 23 points, spiked by 10 rebounds and three blocks to lead the Kings to an impressive victory.
