Barangay Ginebra overcame San Miguel Beermen's grand slam championship dream by defeating them 100-97 and entering the PBA Governors' Cup semifinals.
Ginebra was led by Justin Brownlee with 41 points while Stanley Pringle had 24 points and LA Tenorio had 12 points.
Ginebra coach Tim Cone breathed a sigh of relief after the win over Beermen.
June Mar Fajardo wasted 24 points and 18 rebounds, which was a major challenge for Beermen after Arwind Santos, Kelly Nabong and Ronald Tubid were suspended from a riot in their practice last week.
Ginebra will next face either NLEX or NorthPort in the best of five semifinals
