MANILA –  After hitting Alaska Aces’ Calvin Abueva, Barangay Ginebra coach Frankie Lim was then fined with P50,000 and was banned from Ginebra’s Game 1 in the PBA Governer’s Cup.

But before the third quarter ended, an incident occurred involving Ginebra’s Orland Johnson and LA Tenorio getting physical with Abueva.

Ginebra bench and coach later on hit Abueva as well. Lim, Johnson and Tenorio were then fouled.

The Aces won the game with 114-108.
