Antipolo – Justin Brownlee knew that for him to have an impact despite a luxurious straight thumb, he should start strong to help Barangay Ginebra to win the possible match 4 on TNT which equaled the final of the PBA commissioner’s cup at 2-2 here.
“I wanted to be aggressive,” said Brownlee after scoring 23 points in the 95-78 victory at the Ynares Center, despite his opinion, due to his injury suffered two nights earlier in match 3.

Brownlee started hot, overthrowing six of the seven attempts in the first half for 15 points and helping to set the tone for the night when the Kings Gin needed to obtain the order of victory to restore their title chances.

The best importance ended up going 9 out of 17 on the ground, above the 12 rebounds and five assists in a performance that could be one of the best in Brownlee.

Coach Tim Cone admitted that Brownlee seemed to be made for the series, given the severity of the injury.
In fact, Cone has exposed Ginebra to explore the options to type the naturalized Angel Kouame player in temporary replacement while Brownlee dealt with the injury.
Rahlir Hollis-Jefferson, brother of TNT Import Rondae, was also taken into account. But in the end, it was either Brownlee or a Filpino range.

“In my mind, before training, there was no chance that he was going to play and be part of the series,” said Cone. “But when he started to shoot (in practice) and he said that” I don’t feel the pain “, so we thought he might play.”
