Barangay Ginebra lived up to its never-say-die mantra during the first half of the single-round exhibition series.
And the Gin Kings intend to keep playing that way when they tangle with the Terrafirma Dyip on Friday, June 30, at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City.

The league’s most popular squad will enter the 7:30 p.m. game with an even 3-3 record in the PBA on Tour.
Ginebra has climbed up to the ledger after squeaking past Blackwater, 81-80, before following that up with another cliffhanging match, a 108-107 decision against erstwhile unbeaten Rain or Shine behind unheralded Jason David’s endgame heroics.
The Gin Kings face a Dyip side that is still smarting from a 102-94 defeat to the Phoenix Super LPG Fuel Masters recently. They carry a 3-4 record.
In the 5 p.m. curtain raiser, Rain or Shine faces Converge.
