MANILA, Philippines—Justin Brownlee is not one to forget the huge beatdown that Ginebra absorbed at the hands of San Miguel Beer in the second round of the PBA Governors’ Cup elimination phase.
Instead of frowning upon it, Brownlee used it as a motivation to power through in Game 1 of the semifinals against the Beermen, 122-105, at Philsports Arena on Wednesday.
“Whenever somebody beats you the way we got beat, it’s definitely motivation. We understand that San Miguel’s a very tough team. They’ve been winning championships for years and we understand that,” said Brownlee.

MANILA, Philippines–Justin Brownlee went on a tear from the four-point line as Barangay Ginebra rolled to a 122-105 win over San Miguel Beer to open the PBA Governors’ Cup semifinals on a bright note Wednesday at Philsports Arena in Pasig City.
Brownlee finished with 33 points after knocking down five four-pointers on top of eight rebounds and five assists which helped the Gin Kings break loose and draw first blood in their best-of-seven series with the sister team Beermen.
He also drained three of Ginebra’s 12 triples to also highlight why the crowd favorites were able to maximize a nine-day rest after making short work of old rival Meralco with a three-game sweep of the quarterfinals.

PBA: No team has clear edge in both semifinals series

The teams left jockeying for the PBA Governors’ Cup title have been trimmed down to the final four, and no one seems to have an advantage over anybody, which makes these two best-of-seven semifinal derbies the most interesting in a long while.
San Miguel and Barangay Ginebra tangle in the curtain raiser, while Rain or Shine takes on defending champion TNT in the nightcap of a doubleheader set on Wednesday at PhilSports Arena in Pasig City, and though no one ever said that a series can be won in the first game, dictating the pace carries a lot of importance.
After being put through the gauntlet by Converge, the Beermen are hoping to be an entirely different squad when they battle the in-form Gin Kings in the 5 p.m. contest that marks the start of yet another sister act that, in the past, more often than not go down the proverbial wire.
