The no. 3 seed Gin Kings roared past the defending champion Beermen, 115-108, to take a 1-0 lead in their best-of-5 semifinals showdown in the PBA Governors'
Cup Monday at the Big Dome.
Justin Brownlee was sensational for Ginebra, going for 39 points and 16 rebounds as the Gin Kings erased an
early 13-point deficit to zoom ahead in the series.
Backing up Brownlee was a set of outstanding local performances led by Japeth Aguilar's 22 points and Sol Mercado's 19 off the bench.
Even rookie Scottie Thompson shined for his PBA Semis debut, recording a solid double-double of 11points and 10 rebounds in a starting role.
