The semifinalists of the PBA Season 49 Governors' Cup return to action from a brief two-day respite with Rain or Shine and Barangay Ginebra looking to keep the momentum in Game 4 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on Wednesday, Oct. 16.

Finally breaking through and avoiding falling into a 0-3 hole versus TNT in Game 3, ROS head coach Yeng Guiao hopes his squad make steady improvement to finally put the series back on level footing.

"We wanna keep improving on what we did (Sunday). We played two good halves (in Game 3), and we're able weather the storm and come out on top," said Guiao ahead of the Elasto Painters' 5 p.m. clash against the Tropang Giga.

Coming up next is an equally thrilling contest between Barangay Ginebra and San Miguel.

Both TNT and Ginebra are looking for a commanding 3-1 semis lead.

"I guess we lost the first two games because we turned the ball over a lot, giving them the opportunities to score in transition. We managed some of our turnovers, and it became a high-scoring game where our chances of winning are better," added Guiao as the Elasto Painters went through the wringer for a 110-109 Game 3 win.

For the first time in the series, Rain or Shine led by as many as 15 points but still had to weather a late rally from TNT. The Elasto Painters needed a gutsy and-1 play in the waning seconds just to pull through with win.

Unlike Rain or Shine which trails in the semis, Ginebra is aiming to further pad the lead and move on cusp of the Governors' Cup finals where it once mightily reigned.

The Kings could actually be even enjoying a 3-0 advantage if not for their collapse in the 131-125 overtime loss in Game 2. Ginebra immediately went back on track with a 99-94 decision in Game 3.

"I don't think it's a healthy thing to dwell on and there's a real art to moving on when it comes to basketball and sports and I think that's a real valuable tool even in life that we often times learn from sports," said Ginebra head coach Tim Cone as he instilled to his wards to live at the moment and not anymore think about the 'what ifs' and 'what could have been'.

"Whether we lose or whether we win you continue to move on and look at the next game, get ready for the next thing, just like in life as well. No matter what happens to you you've got to find a way to move forward whether it's a good thing or a bad thing. You've got to keep your full focus on what's ahead of you," Cone also said.

"We're not going to dwell on the fact that we could have or should have or would have. The bottom line is, here is where we are right now, and this is what we're going to deal with," he added.

And the "now" for Ginebra is to make sure that they are ready to roll with the punches and if possible fight back form San Miguel which is surely raring to get back into the series.

Expected to lead the Kings though is Justin Brownlee who made the clutch plays in Game 3 while the Beermen will need another monster effort from June Mar Fajardo if it wishes to avoid falling into a 1-3 hole.
