MANILA, Philippines -- Barangay Ginebra finished their PBA Commissioner’s Cup eliminations on a strong note, holding off the stubborn Meralco Bolts, 91-87, Wednesday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Trillo said that Mitchell can play defense as well as Su Braimoh, Meralco’s import who steered the Bolts to a 4-1 record in the last Commissioner’s Cup before going down with an achilles injury.

Meralco team active consultant Nenad Vucinic said Mitchell has issue with his hurting back that the Bolts just decided to rest him. “(We) try to win as much as (we) can and win the championship.
