    Ginebra marches on

    GINEBRA eased into the semifinals with a 127-93 rout of NLEX, which played without an import in their PBA Governors’ Cup quarterfinal showdown on Sunday at the Araneta Coliseum.

    Justin Brownlee shot 14 for 20 and wound up with 31 points, powering the third-seeded Gin Kings past the No. 6 Road Warriors as Wayne Selden sat out due to an ankle sprain sustained in their elimination-round game against San Miguel.

    Christian Standhardinger and Jamie Malonzo scored 20 each as six Gin Kings finished with double-digit scores.

    Sean Anthony went 6 for 11 and finished with 16 points to lead NLEX, which also got double-digit contributions from five other players.

    “Anything is possible,” said the 28-year-old guard.

    Brought in to replace Jonathon Simmons, who played the first four games for NLEX, Selden did fine and helped the Road Warriors to a 7-4 record for joint fourth — he averaged 31.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 6.7 assists — but they wound up No. 6 in the standings after the tiebreak.

    “I wish I was able to compete down the stretch and give us a chance,” said the import. “I’ve done everything the past couple of days to try to get ready, but my foot wasn’t going to allow me to play even at a kind of full strength.”

    SECOND seed San Miguel had little trouble in the PBA Governors’ Cup quarterfinals even with June Mar Fajardo out, beating Converge, 121-105, on Sunday.

    Cameron Clark went 16 for 26, finishing with 40 points as the Beermen arranged a semifinal showdown with Ginebra.

    Converge, which dropped Jamaal Franklin after a lackluster performance against Ginebra in the elimination round, got a big performance from Thomas Vodanovich but simply could not overcome the Beermen’s offense.

    CJ Perez had 26 points on 10 of 19 shooting, while Vic Manuel went 9 for 9 and wound up with 20 points.

    Vodanovich scored 39 on 14 of 28 shooting, pulled down 10 rebounds and issued three assists for Converge.
