Ginebra’s eight-year championship drought might come to an end if they closes out the series today or on a do-or-die friday if the Meralco Bolts forces a GAME 7.
The last time Ginebra got a championship is on August 20, 2008 (2008 FIESTA Conference) against the Air21 Express. They won the series 4-3, winning the game 7, 97-84. It was also happened after a typhoon named Karen hit the country.
Eric Menk and Ronal Tubid were named Co-Finals MVP.
