Kings overpower Dragons for title
Justin Brownlee and Barangay Ginebra San Miguel continued to create history.
The three-time best import kept his perfect record in the finals and the Gin Kings completed their task by crushing the Dragons of Bay Area, 114-99, in Game 7 of the Philippine Basketball Association Commissioner's Cup Sunday.
A record crowd of 54,589 packed the cavernous Philippine Arena in Bulacan and came home triumphantly as the Kings dominated from the start.
Barangay Ginebra import Justin Brownlee celebrates another successful campaign in the PBA.
Brownlee pumped in 34 points, 15 in the first period alone as he set the tone for Ginebra's sizzling start. He capped his big game by pulling down eight rebounds and dishing out 12 assists.
The Dragons, saddled by poor shooting, failed to mount a comeback, the closest they could get was 15 twice, including the final score.
Now known as Justin "Noypi" after being granted Philippine citizenship, Brownlee has gone 6-for-6 in the championship series.
More importantly, Brownlee is now tied for the most number of championships won among reinforcements, a feat which he shared with fellow great Sean Chambers of Alaska.
