[Saba Sports News] NLEX head coach Jong Uichico’s explanation of his team’s 28-point rout in Barangay Ginebra was rather blunt.

“They played better than us from the start. They run faster, they fight harder, “Uichico said. “That’s why they built a lead that we can’t get back.”
NLEX struggled early and failed to find its game rhythm in a 119-91 loss to Ginebra in the PBA Governor’s Cup on Tuesday.
The Road Warriors trailed by as many as 21 points in the first half and by a whopping 67-100 in the fourth quarter.
The loss was frustrating because three days earlier NLEX had battled the star-studded San Miguel Beermen into overtime and won 112-108 in Cagayan de Oro City.
