Brgy. Ginebra vs Talk 'N Text [QUARTERFINALS KNOCKOUT GAME] - December 16, 2014 - Video
Fan favorite Barangay Ginebra shocked Talk 'N Text during the elimination round, but the Gin Kings remain wary of the third-seeded Tropang Texters for their knockout game on Tuesday.
"Ibang-iba na sila compared dun sa first time na nakalaban namin sila," veteran guard LA Tenorio told reporters after their victory over GlobalPort on Friday.
Without veterans Jimmy Alapag and Ranidel de Ocampo, who were taking a break following their Gilas Pilipinas stint, Ginebra dropped a dominating 101-81 defeat on the Texters in front of the 50,000-strong crowd in the PBA opening held in Philippine Arena.
The Kings then went on to a commanding 5-1 start in the conference, only to lapse into defensive meltdowns in the next three games. They finished with a 6-5 card for fifth place, while Talk 'n Text steadily climbed in the standings as Alapag and de Ocampo came back for the team.
"They're very talented, very precise sa lahat ng mga ginagawa nila," Tenorio said of the third-seeded Texters, who advanced to the quarterfinals with an 8-3 slate.

After fielding questions about Meralcos breakthrough playoff victory against Purefoods Star, Bolts mentor Norman Black quickly turned his attention to their next opponent, reminding everyone that its going to be even tougher when they play in a knockout game.
After all, Meralcos next game is against a team that dealt the Bolts their worst beating this conference, and the second worst defeat since the team joined the PBA in 2010.
The sixth-seeded Meralco battles anew the fourth-ranked Alaska with the winner moving to the semifinals of the PBA Philippine Cup today at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Theyre a tough team to beat, we lost to them by 41, said Black, whose team suffered a nightmarish 105-64 blowout to Alaska on Halloween in a battle of then unbeaten teams in the PBA.
The two teams arranged a knockout match after dispatching their respective opponents in the first phase of the quarterfinals last Thursday at the Cuneta Astrodome.
Armed with twice-to-beat incentives, the Aces downed the NLEX Road Warriors (82-78) while the Bolts stunned the four-time champion Hotshots (77-65) for the first time after a 0-4 record in the playoffs.

Dangerous "knockout" attacks on strangers are leading to arrests, more officers flooding the streets and more warnings for vigilance by an unsuspecting public.
Perpetrators have dubbed the violent practice as the "knockout game," in which young people try to randomly knock out strangers with one punch.
Recent attacks in New York, New Haven, Conn., Washington, D.C. and suburban Philadelphia have raised concerns across the country. The violence is not new, though. In 2011, St. Louis had a rash of similar incidents, one of which led to the death of a Vietnamese immigrant.
Some of the assaults are recorded and posted on social media by the attackers.
In New York, police have charged Amrit Marajh, 28, with two felony hate crimes after they said he assaulted a 24-year-old Jewish man wearing a yarmulke Friday in Brooklyn, NYPD Sgt. Carlos Nieves said.
Marajh, who is Trinidadian, was talking about the knockout game with three other men and made an anti-Semitic statement just before the incident, Nieves said.
The victim was not seriously injured.
New York police Sgt. Brendan Ryan said in an e-mail that extra officers have been assigned to the Crown Heights area of Brooklyn. . The NYPD wouldn't confirm how many suspected knockout assaults have been reported.
