The Kings completed a 6-0 (win-loss) closing romp in the double-round elimination phase and snatched the last outright slot in the 2008 Smart PBA Fiesta Conference quarterfinal round with a 97-90 win over the Alaska Milk Aces Sunday night at the Astrodome.
Ginebra avoided the wildcard as it beat out Alaska for the last slot in the Magic Five, closing out its elims stint with 10 wins against eight losses.
The Kings even finished third behind the Air21 Express and the Red Bull Barakos with better quotient than the Coca-Cola Tigers and the Magnolia Beverage Masters who also wound up at 10-8.
Ginebra takes a shot at the semifinal round against the survivor of the wildcard round. The other quarterfinals pairing pits Magnolia and Coca-Cola.
Air21 (12-6) and Red Bull (11-7) gained the two outright seats in the semifinals. They will await the winners of the quarterfinals for at least two weeks.
