Ginebra, TNT seek quick end to respective quarterfinals series

Owning two championships with an eye on a third in the same season is as good a reason as any for San Miguel Beer guard Chris Ross to feel confident heading to his team’s final-esque clash with Barangay Ginebra.

To San Miguel’s advantage, it is facing a Ginebra squad that’s been wobbly lately.

The defending Governors’ Cup champions have lost 2 of 3 games after rattling off 7 wins in a row. Their last game was forgettable — a 29-point beating at the hands of TNT.
