AKTV/Paolo Papa
The matchup will be broadcast over AKTV at 8 p.m. after the NCAA final four matches.
Ginebra has been on fire with the arrival of Tenorio, whose presence has rejuvenated the Gin Kings. He scored just two points in Ginebra’s opening day victory over GlobalPort, but grabbed nine rebounds and handed off 10 assists.
He was even better in Ginebra second game against Rain or Shine, sizzling for 20 points to help his new squad to a second straight victory.
Ginebra currently sits at the top spot alongside Talk ‘N Text with similar 2-0 win-loss records.
Meralco, which totes a 1-1 mark, will once again rely on fourth overall pick Cliff Hodge, who has averaged 19.5 points and 9.5 rebounds per game in his first two outings as a pro.
Hodge said he’s still not satisfied with his performance. “I’m still not happy with my game. I was missing a lot of shots, shots which I normally make. I even missed a lot of free throws,” he told InterAKTV shortly after leading Meralco to victory over Alaska last Wednesday,” said Hodge.
Interestingly, the game will feature Hodge facing off against fellow Filipino-American rookie Chris Ellis, his former running mate in the amateur ranks. The two men teamed up to help NLEX win three straight PBA D-League titles, and were also vital cogs in the Sinag Pilipinas run to the Southeast Asian Games gold medal last season.
