The Kings wasted no time reminding everyone who is the boss when it comes to the season-ending conference.
Justin Brownlee and defending champion Barangay Ginebra turned back a gutsy Rain or Shine, 116-108, to open their title-retention bid in a convincing fashion in the 2023 PBA Governors’ Cup at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on Sunday, Feb. 5.
Brownlee immediately made his presence felt in his return to the hard court since winning the Commissioner’s Cup title by dropping a triple-double of 29 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds while Pinto added 12 points off the bench – eight of which came during the pivotal stretch before the 10,080 crowd.
But the Kings went on a run that cut the lead down to just one, 81-80 heading to the final frame and kept their composure despite the resilient attempts of the Elasto Painters.
