MANILA, Philippines — Alaska leaned on a late surge to pull away from Barangay Ginebra San Miguel, 104-80, and seized its first championship in three years after pulling off a three-game sweep in their best-of-five PBA Commissioner’s Cup championship series before a record crowd at the Smart Araneta Coliseum Sunday night.

The game was tied at 76 early in the fourth period before the Aces went on a 20-3 run to break the game wide open en route to their 14th title overall.
