Brownlee-Harris Clash Exciting Feature In Ginebra-Phoenix Face-off

Dec 18, 2021

Brownlee-Harris clash exciting feature in Ginebra-Phoenix face-off AHEAD of its special Christmas Day faceoff with Magnolia, titlist Barangay Ginebra looks to stay perfect, shooting for win No. 3 versus Phoenix Super LPG Fuel Masters in the PBA Governors' Cup at the Smart Araneta Coliseum Sunday.It's an interesting tiff featuring a curious matchup between two talented imports in Justin Brownlee and Paul Harris.An import with earlier stints with TNT, Harris brought his stuff to Ginebra in 2016 but was limited to one game as he suffered a hyperextended open fractured thumb.Relegated to the sideline, Harris himself recommended a replacement who turned out to be Brownlee, and the rest is history.The two hotshots will be on the opposite sides as the Kings and the Fuel Masters square off at 5:30 p.m., with the former looking to extend their unbeaten run and the latter out to bounce back from a first loss after two wins.

And I go 'Wow, I never heard that,'" said Ginebra coach Tim Cone, referring to a three-pointer made by LA Tenorio. Sponsored content: To familiar chants of "Gi-neb-ra, Gi-neb-ra," the Gin Kings went about business with extra energy and quickly asserted themselves with a swashbuckling 27-13 start and coasted to their largest win since a 132-105 rout of NorthPort in Game 3 of the 2019 Governors' Cup semis.
