Magnolia fended off a late Ginebra fightback to take an 89-84 victory in the first Manila Clasico of the season in the PBA Philippine Cup before a good-sized Father’s Day crowd at the Mall of Asia Arena on Sunday, June 19.

Rome Dela Rosa played hero anew as he nailed a huge triple with 1:45 left in the game to douse the searing rally from the Gin Kings late in the final frame after coming back from 14-points down early in the second half.

With the win, the Hotshots have now won the last four editions of their historic rivalry with Ginebra and coach Chito Victolero gave full credit to his players’ desire to win. “Sabi ko nga we just try na mag-execute lang yung game plan namin and at the same time mag enjoy kami because Fathers’ Day tapos Clasico pa. Ayun lang, kailangan lang namin i-enjoy yung adversity, yung challenges na binigay sa amin,” he added.

Trailing by eight, 81-73,with still six minutes left in the final frame, Ginebra, triggered by a four-point play from Arvin Tolentino, embarked on a 9-1 spurt to tie the game at 82-all.
