Meralco withstood Barangay Ginebra's stubborn stand to score a 108-104 Game 2 victory, forcing a sudden death in their PBA Season 49 Commissioner's Cup quarterfinal best-of-three series on Friday at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium in Malate, Manila.
The Bolts unleashed a spirited 15-3 bomb to grab a 12-point lead in the third canto. But the Gin Kings staged a comeback and came close to sending the game to overtime.
