Ginebra Lives Another Day, Displays Never-Say-Die Spirit

Barangay Cebu rejoices as Ginebra displays their Never-Say-Die attitude when they trip Alaska Aces in their out-of-town game last night, May 22, 2010.

Eric Menk showed some muscles as he owned the night with conference-high 25 points (and was later declared as the Best Player of the Game).

Mark "The Spark" Caguioa, Jayjay "The Fast" Helterbrand, Ronald "The Fearless" Tubid and Willie "Thriller" Miller also displayed remarkable performance when they all combined efforts to succumbed Cone's Aces to their 6th loss.

"Our players played their hearts out and that's just the way the Ginebra team should play come what may." Ginebra mentor Jong Uichico said.

Diamon Simpson on the other hand led the Aces with 24 points.

Cyrus Baguio, a former GinKing, finished with 17 points, and Tony Dela Cruz and Joe DeVance had 11 each.

This is another Ginebra classic so to speak, a classic come-from-behind victory..
