Baracael’s charities save Ginebra vs Rain or Shine; Painters to protest game

MANILA, Philippines – Mac Baracael drew a crucial foul while taking a trey and canned in the three charities with three-tenths of a second left as Barangay Ginebra salvaged a 101-100 win over Rain or Shine to tie Alaska Milk and Globalport at sixth place at 3-4 later in the PBA Governors’ Cup at the Smart Araneta Coliseum Saturday night.

“We’re lucky to pull it off. We’re lucky the refs called a foul,” said Ginebra coach Ato Agustin on the controversial game the Rain or Shine management placed under protest.

"We are filing a protest on the ground that the refs decided the outcome of the game," said Rain or Shine co-owner Raymund Yu.

The scores:

Ginebra 101 - Caguioa 32, Lowhorn 31, Ellis 11, Baracael 8, Tenorio 8, Maierhofer 6, Helterbrand 3, Mamaril 2, Urbiztondo 0, Wilson 0.

Rain or Shine 100 - Reid 40, Quinahan 12, Lee 11, Belga 10, Arana 8, Chan 5, Uyloan 4, Norwood 4, Cruz 2, Matias 2, Tang 2, Rodriguez 0, Ibanes 0.

Quarters: 21-26, 47-49, 70-79, 101-100
