Barangay Ginebra got the needed emotional lift from walking-wounded import Justin Brownlee as the Gin Kings hammered the TNT Tropang Giga, 95-78, to tie their PBA Season 49 Commissioner's Cup Finals series at 2-2 on Friday at the Ynares Center in Antipolo City.

The 6-foot-4 Brownlee played through a dislocated right thumb, but managed to deliver a clutch performance after delivering 23 points, 12 rebounds and five assists in over 45 minutes of action that easily inspired a Ginebra side known for its never-say-die attitude.
