MANILA, Philippines – The Meralco Bolts are electrified by their third titular encounter with Barangay Ginebra, feeling they're better-equipped in this latest showdown with their two-time tormentors in the race for PBA Governors' Cup gold. The Bolts have always been a contender in the season-ending conference with the dependable Allen Durham as reinforcement. They've made us a better team, even though Allein's still adjusting to the team as he just joined us this conference," said Bolts coach Norman Black. The Bolts expect to utilize Almazan more against the Ginebra frontline of Greg Slaughter and Japeth Aguilar than they did against the KaTropa. Round Three of the Meralco-Ginebra rivalry will blast off on January 8 yet with Game One at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
