Repeat or revenge? Over four months since their quarterfinal duel last conference, Barangay Ginebra and Meralco are back at it, disputing a semifinal ticket anew in the PBA Commissioner's Cup.

It's a short, race-to-two affair that kicks off today at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, so getting a 1-0 running start is pivotal for the rivals.

"We're excited we're facing Ginebra," said Bolts coach Luigi Trillo ahead of the 7:30 p.m. opener.

This marks their 10th showdown in the PBA playoffs since 2016. The most recent one – the Governors' Cup Final-8 last September, didn't end particularly well for Meralco as Ginebra pulled off a 3-0 sweep. Thus payback is a motivation for the Bolts here.
