Ginebra beats TNT 85-73 in Game 3 of PBA Finals

Barangay Ginebra edged out TNT with an 85-73 victory in Game 3 of the PBA Governors' Cup Finals on Friday night at Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Ginebra's improved defense, particularly in the fourth quarter where they held TNT to just 14 points, stifled the Tropang Giga and secured their lowest point total in the conference.

Scottie Thompson led with a standout performance of 15 points, five rebounds, four assists, and a steal, while Justin Brownlee contributed 18 points, 13 rebounds, four assists, and four blocks.

Coach Tim Cone praised his team's defensive play and focus for the win, noting that previous games were less effective due to fatigue; Ginebra now aims to maintain this momentum in Game 4 on Sunday.

The series shifts back to Smart Araneta Coliseum on Sunday at 7:35 p.m., where Ginebra will attempt to even the score against TNT and draw inspiration from past comeback victories.
