Pacquiao’s Kia Makes History Again, Hands Ginebra a 32-Point Lead

10/26/2014 – Lucena City | A lowly Kia Sorento without Superstar and boxing hero Manny Pacquiao handed their embarrassing  loss to the rugged Barangay Ginebra during their out of town collision at Quezon Convention Center in Lucena City.

Kia’s goal to make a franchise history against Ginebra was a success after letting the opponent beat them in a convincing fashion – now Kia Sorento can update its history books by adding a 32-point loss as the biggest loss of the 2-game old franchise.

Pacquiao, Kia’s team captain, starting point guard, and playing coach missed the game after his Kia Pride broke down somewhere in Candelaria, and no rescue team arrived until the game has ended as everyone in Lucena was busy watching the beat down.

Kia was enjoying a 12-point lead at the end of the 2^nd quarter but when Greg Slaughter started in the 3^rd quarter, everything turned ugly in Ginebra’s favor. Slaughter started slaughtering the Kia players and continue to score at will.

“Things would have been different if coach Manny was here”, Lingganay told the media after the devastating loss.

PBA commissioner ordered full investigation about the Kia Pride incident. It might be possible that some fans of Barangay Ginebra did something to Pacquiao’s service vehicle to delay him so that the opponent can take full advantage of his absence.
