Brownlee proud of Ginebra’s response after test of character in crunch time

BOCAUE—It’s been said that winning Game 7s boils down to sheer attitude and that rang true for Barangay Ginebra and Justin Brownlee.

With a record 54,086 fans shouting and jeering at every conceivable moment, the Gin Kings managed to shout the loudest of shouts at Philippine Arena when they survived Meralco, 101-96, in the clincher to retain the PBA Governors’ Cup crown.

And in the middle of it all was Brownlee who once again led the Gin Kings in their quest for a title.

“It just shows the character of the team, coach Tim [Cone] told us to just win the game,” said Brownlee. “We knew we had to do whatever it took, we made a couple of stops to seal the deal.”

And those happened in the final minute of the game when Brownlee and Ginebra finally realized that their title hopes were put in danger.
