The Barangay Ginebra Kings regained their fiery form to dominate the Sta. Lucia Realtors, 102-85, Sunday night at the Araneta Coliseum in the PBA Fiesta Conference.
In the nightcap, the San Miguel Beermen also had little trouble disposing of the luckless Barako Energy Coffee Masters, 104-80.

Import Mildon Ambres scored 21 points while Ronald Tubid went a perfect 5-of-5 from beyond the three-point arc to finish with 17 for Ginebra.

New import Cliff Brown poured 26 points in his first road game in the PBA, leading the Llamados to their third straight win and seventh overall in nine games.
At the start of the second half of the elimination round, the Llamados thus found themselves just behind the pace-setting Beermen.
The loss sent Air21 falling deeper into the cellar with a woeful 1
