RAIN or Shine defeated Barangay Ginebra, 84-76, on Thursday during their final tune-up game for the coming PBA season held at The Upper Deck.

Rain or Shine broke away from a 41-40 halftime lead in the third quarter and entered the final canto with a 65-58 advantage after a long two-pointer by James Yap.
The lead reached to 10 points, 76-66, in the fourth following a layup by Yap.
