Brownlee stands in between teammates LA Tenorio and Joe Devance in the statistics, with Tenorio totalling 16 points and Devance contributing 13. Scottie Thompson added 10 as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Talk N\u2019 Text, import Terrence Jones led for most of the way as he chalked up a double-double of 24 points and 18 rebounds. Troy Rosario delivered 12, while Jayson Castro contributed 10. Unfortunately, it was not enough to secure the team a finals return after two years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Post-game, Ginebra head coach Tim Cone shared in a mix of English and Filipino, \u201cWell, we got one,\u201d but added, \u201cObviously, it\u2019s not good enough. It was a real struggle just to get one. It\u2019s hard to only have one win, but we\u2019re still alive so we still have life.\u201d He continued, \u201cWe\u2019ll see if we could turn it around and get two.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brownlee revealed that he was motivated by the presence of the die-hard Ginebra fans in the arena throughout the game, saying, \u201cWe just wanted to come out with the never-say-die attitude and just feed off this crowd. We came out and did whatever it takes to take the win.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Game Four of the semifinals for the Kings and the KaTropa will occur on Thursday, August 1 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Barangay Ginebra Kings are still in the running to enter the 2019 Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) finals after winning &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[44],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-225068","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-sports","mauthors-gianna-llanes","mauthors-philippine-canadian-inquirer"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225068","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=225068"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225068\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":225229,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225068\/revisions\/225229"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=225068"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=225068"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=225068"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
