SMART CLARK GIGA CITY – It’s going to be a real battle as TnT Tropang Giga and Barangay Geneva meet in a highly anticipated duel between the co-leaders of the PBA Philippine Cup.
Stanley Pringle said the Kings must be locked in if they want to get the best out of a team he referred to as a “giant team.”
“They’re definitely a great team, so it’s going to be a huge challenge for us,” said the prolific point guard who serves as the main game of another quad header Friday at the University of Angeles Foundation gym.

At the end of games Wednesday night, the Kings and Tropang Texters found themselves again tied for first place with identical 6-2 records after contrasting fates against separate opponents.
Tropang Giga lost to Magnolia, 102-92, while the Kings rode on eight players who finished in double figures led by Pringle’s 17 to knock NorthPort back, 112-100, in the cup.
Pringle also added eight rebounds and three assists in another impressive performance that led Geneva coach Tim Cone to label him not only the most consistent Geneva player, but ‘the most consistent in the entire league’.

But the 33-year-old Fil-Am guard said credit should go to Cone and his staff, as well as the entire team, for allowing him to play steadily every night inside the bubble.
“I’m improving and keeping pace,” said Pringle, who scored 31 points just one night ago in the Kings’ 87-81 win over the Alaska Aces.
“Just focus on the direction they give me. They are always helping us, so we have to acknowledge it to the coaching staff and the veteran players of the team. “
