The Kings and the Mixers, who will battle for the right to face Rain or Shine in the finals, will play before an expected sell-out crowd anew later at 8:00 PM of February 12, 2014.
Ginebra is coming off an inspiring 94-91 game 6 victory last Monday, which the team is hoping to ride on come the highly-anticipated series-clinching match.
“Game Seven, nakita namin ang formula. We need to pressure, we need to be aggressive. Kailangan na namin ibigay lahat,” said Agustin. (Statement from InterAksyon.com)
San Mig on the other hand decided to forget the heart-breaking setback last time out and will try to bank on the team’s big games experience in the past to move to another finals appearance.
“Marami na ring kaming game na ganito. Pang-ilan na rin naming itong Game Seven, tapos galing pa kami sa Talk ‘N Text do or die game. Destiny naming sigurong mag-Game Seven talaga. Anyway, mas experienced naman kami sa kanila,” Mixers guard Mark Barroca (Statement from InterAksyon.com).
One of highly-anticipated match-up of the game is the duel between fellow veteran PBA players Marc Caguioa and former PBA MVP James Yap.
