Coach Tim Cone and Barangay Ginebra can at least focus on fun and games for the next few days without worrying about the twice-to-beat advantage they were able to clinch before select members of the Gin Kings contingent came to Passi City, Iloilo province, on Thursday. 'It's gonna be more fun than work,' said Cone, who won't be arriving until the following day to take part in activities leading up to his role as coach of Team Japeth against Team Scottie this weekend at City of Passi Arena.
