- By MARK REY MONTEJO

Finally finding the answers to the lapses that once hounded them, the Gin Kings (4-4), riding a two-game winning streak, have no plans of slowing down as they shoot for a third straight victory over the Terrafirma Dyip (1-8) in their 5:30 p.m. matchup.

Closing the doubleheader action is a 7:30 p.m. showdown between the Bolts (4-4) and the Phoenix Fuel Masters (3-6), who are looking to avoid an early exit.

Veteran coach Tim Cone admitted that Ginebra is still polishing its sets after its impressive showing against Blackwater.
