In a commanding performance, Barangay Ginebra defeated the Phoenix Fuel Masters 112-81 in the PBA Commissioner’s Cup quarterfinals, driven by a 'no next game' mindset. Scottie Thompson, the Ginebra floor general, highlighted the team's focus on winning this game alone, stating, "We didn’t want to think that we should play one more game." This mentality proved effective as Thompson delivered an impressive all-around performance, scoring 16 points, grabbing nine rebounds, and dishing out nine assists. He was well-supported by import Justin Brownlee, who led the scoring with 24 points, along with five rebounds and five assists. The victory not only showcased Ginebra's dominance but also secured their spot in the semifinals, where they will compete against the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters, who earlier defeated San Miguel in their quarterfinal matchup. The game took place at the Ynares Sports Center in Antipolo, Philippines, further solidifying Ginebra's status as a formidable contender in the tournament.
