Chot thinks finals momentum now with Ginebra

CHOT Reyes acknowledges Barangay Ginebra now holds the momentum against TNT in the PBA Governors' Cup finals after the Kings tied the series Sunday night.

The Kings scored a 106-92 win over the Tropang Giga to level their title duel at 2-2 and reduced the series to a best-of-three.

Reyes said Ginebra has now found its rhythm after losing the first two games of the finals.

"Definitely, they have the momentum. It was the same thing with us. We had the momentum after two games. Now it's shifted," said the TNT coach.

"That's Finals. That's basketball, our sport."

Game 5 is slated on Wednesday also at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, with the Kings looking to make it three-in-a-row against the Tropang Giga.

"In a seven game series of two very good teams, the momentum can really shift both ways. Yeah, they definitely have the momentum and we have to find a way to stop it," said Reyes.

But the TNT mentor stressed he's actually pleased with where the Tropang Giga are currently in despite losing the last two outings of the series.

"If you ask me at the start of the series, after four games it was two-all. I'd say I'd take it and still be happy," Reyes said.

"Best-of-three. We're now 0-0, best-of-three." (RG)
