Game 1 was a tale of two teams showing contrasting effects of a week-long break before an all-important collision.On one side, Barangay Ginebra, the defending champion of the 2023 PBA Governors’ Cup looked fresh and sharp from the 10-day break while its challenger, the No. 1 seed TNT, barely showed semblance of the top offensive team throughout the conference, presumably losing all the rhythm due to the lull.
"I was questioning myself, I was questioning whether we should take Good Friday off. And I was questioning if we had taken too much time or we weren't working hard enough, a lot of questions going on throughout the 10 days.” Five players scored in double figures led by Brownlee’s 31 while Jamie Malozno and Christian Standhardinger added 21 and 16. Scottie Thompson orchestrated the attack with a triple-double of 10 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists while Stanley Pringle added the scoring punch off the bench with his 11 points
In contrast, TNT, the league's best offensive team heading into the contest, shot a measly 38 percent from the field. Its 90 points was the lowest output of the team and only the third time they failed to reach the 100-point mark this conference.
