MANILA, Philippines -- After picking up their first-ever Finals win last Friday, the Meralco Bolts go for two Sunday as the 2016 PBA Governors' Cup Finals continues at the Big Dome with Game 2.
Erasing a 16-point deficit to win in overtime back in Game 1, Meralco is now out to put more pressure on Ginebra as this series is slowly starting to take shape.
Allen Durham, who scored 46 point while playing 50 minutes in the opener, is expected to once again be the driving force for the Bolts with a local crew operating behind him.
Also expected to deliver for Meralco is Jimmy Alapag who is one three-pointer away from standing alone in PBA history as the man with most three-point field goals made. The Mighty Mouse tied Allan Caidic with 33 seconds to go in regulation in Game 1.
On the side of Ginebra, defense is an urgent focus after the Gin Kings allowed the Bolts to score 114 points.
Import Justin Brownlee is also needed to put in more production as he was limited to only 17 points in the opener.
LA Tenorio, who set a new career-high of 36 points in Game 1, is the man up front once again for the Gin Kings as Ginebra hopes to tie this series by winning their first Finals game since Game 5 of the 2011 Commissioner's Cup Finals.
Tipoff is set at 6:30 p.m. at the Araneta Coliseum.This article originally appeared on the ABS-CBN Sports website.
