Renren Ritualo hit four three pointers in the fourth quarter while Mark Telan recorded a double-double as Air21 knocks off Barangay Ginebra 109-98 in the second game of the 2006 Gran Matador PBA Philippine Cup at the Cuneta Astrodome in Pasay City.

Trailing 74-82 entering the final frame, Telan scored key baskets during their comeback while Ritualo's triples helped Air21 pull away from a late-Ginebra rally in the final four minutes.

Telan scored 22 points and 10 rebounds as Air21 improved its record to 2-3 on the conference.

Brgy. Ginebra got a boost in the third quarter with Jayjay Helterbrand's 14-point third quarter output as the Kings scored 32 points in the period.

Eric Menk recorded 12 points for Ginebra in the first half, his best game of the conference after three sub-par games. Still, Barangay Ginebra could not avoid losing their third straight game in the tournament to drop its win-loss slate at 2-3.
