The rare starting job entering Game Three came in as a big surprise for Ginebra's Filipino-American guard Stanley Pringle on Friday night.
But knowing the fact that a loss could put the Gin Kings at a huge disadvantage in their PBA Governors' Cup Finals series against the TNT Tropang Giga, Pringle made sure to make the most of this rare opportunity.The 36-year-old Pringle fired 11 points in the opening quarter to help Ginebra grab an early 13–point lead.
