Japeth Aguilar put up his best offensive performance in the last four years while Justin Brownlee finished with a triple-double as Barangay Ginebra fended off Phoenix, 110-101, to notch its first win streak in the PBA Season 49 Governors’ Cup at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium on Friday, Sept. 6.
Aguilar came one point shy of tying his scoring career-high and poured 31 points – none bigger than his timely hits that doused a furious third quarter rally from the Fuel Masters and restored order for the Kings, who improved to a 3-2 record in the Group B standings.
Brownlee provided the perfect complement to the towering Ginebra center with own career-night showing of 23 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists. Stephen Holt also sustained his fine play for Ginebra with 19 points while RJ Abarrientos fired 16. RR Garcia lit the fire to the Fuel Masters’ fiery 19-2 run, scoring 14 of his total 17 points during that stretch to pull his team within one, 74-73 with 3:20 remaining in the quarter.
