Historical Context
Last year, Ginebra held a 3-2 lead in the same conference finals, but TNT won two straight games to claim the championship. Now, TNT is looking to repeat that comeback, while Ginebra aims to rewrite history.
Ginebra coach Tim Cone remains confident despite the Game 6 loss. “We’re gonna feel good about ourselves going into Game 7. We know we can take this, and we’re gonna go for it,” Cone said, as quoted on www.pba.ph.
TNT coach Chot Reyes emphasized their focus on the final two games. “In our board, we put there ‘96 minutes’ encircled in a heart. We said let’s play the best 96 minutes of our lives — Game 6 and Game 7. And now, we’ve done the first half of that,” Reyes stated.
Both teams are determined to secure the championship. Will defending champion TNT repeat history, or will Ginebra change the narrative? All will be decided in Game 7.
