ITS season on the line, Barangay Ginebra is expected to play with a lot of urgency against San Miguel in Sunday's PBA Philippine Cup semifinals series.
Coach Tim Cone expressed confidence of the Kings' capacity to bounce back in Game 6 despite losing Friday night's game down the stretch, 103-92, to trail the best-of-seven series for the first time at 3-2.
Cone is keeping his fingers crossed the team is bound for a big game after the shots have not been falling to its favor so far.
In the Game 5 loss, Ginebra shot just 37 percent from the floor.
"We'll regrouped, we'll practice, and see if we could come up with a big performance (on Sunday)," said Cone.

"Still haven't had a good shooting night this whole series, we have not shot well," the Ginebra coach added. "Hoping that would come around at some point, maybe on Sunday. So let's see."
The Kings were actually very much in the game Friday night until they began to turn the ball over and miss a couple of shots down the stretch, which the Beermen were quick to take advantage.
"It was going down the wire. I thought we have a chance to win. But we made a couple - three or four even - of crucial errors at the wrong time that led them (Beermen) stretch it out down the stretch," said Cone.
But the never-say-die remains with Cone and the Kings.
"The old clich?, it takes four to win, it doesn't take three," said the Ginebra coach. "It's not a five-game series, it's a seven-game series." (RG)
