MANILA, Philippines–Barangay Ginebra on Sunday night pulled out the stops and hit the necessary shots to roll past Terrafirma, 110-99, in the PBA Commissioner’s Cup at Philsports Arena in Pasig City.
The defending champions got the goods from Tony Bishop Jr. who finished with 26 points and 11 points, and Christian Standhardinger who chipped in a double-double of his own 24 and 10, ultimately hiking their record to 4-1 while also gifting skipper LA Tenorio a triumph on his return from a bout with colon cancer.
