ALASKA has been an immovable force in the first two games of the 38th PBA Commissioner’s Cup best-of-five finals. And if Barangay Ginebra fails to summon the never-say-die attitude it is known for, the Aces could be on their way of bagging their 14th championship title.

Barangay Ginebra head coach Al Francis Chua said the Kings will go all-out to stay alive.

“Talagang ibibigay na ng todo ng mga bata iyan, kasi backs against the wall kami,” said Chua. “Ako wala ng hihingin pa sa kanila. They’re really giving their best, lumalaban kahit ano. Pagdating ng Sunday makikita n’yo, ibibigay nilang lahat.”
