Justin Brownlee delivered a dominant performance on both ends of the floor as Barangay Ginebra clawed their way back into the PBA Governors' Cup Finals. The import's timely three-pointer and crucial defensive stops ignited a decisive 17-6 run that propelled the Gin Kings to an 85-73 victory over TNT.
Brownlee's impact was felt throughout the game. He finished with 18 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 blocks, but it was his defensive intensity that truly turned the tide. The Gilas Pilipinas naturalized player forced turnovers, blocked shots, and limited TNT's offensive opportunities.
Maverick Ahanmisi and Scottie Thompson also contributed significantly to Ginebra's win, scoring 16 and 15 points, respectively. The return of LA Tenorio and Joe Devance provided a much-needed boost to the team's lineup.
Despite another impressive performance from Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, who tallied 24 points, 14 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals, and 1 block, TNT couldn't overcome Ginebra's defensive effort and clutch shooting.
Ginebra head coach Tim Cone expressed satisfaction with the team's improved performance, acknowledging that they were sluggish after the intense semifinal series against San Miguel. With this victory, the Gin Kings have regained momentum and will look to level the series in Game 4.
