Brownlee, Mercado power Ginebra past Meralco
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 31 - 07 - 2016

MANILA — With a new import that keeps getting better and better, the Barangay Ginebra Kings rolled to their third victory in four outings with a 107-93 thrashing of the Meralco Bolts in a PBA Governors' Cup road game in Lucena City Saturday night.
Justin Brownlee, who replaced injured import Paul Harris, once again led the Kings, posting 26 points and a team-high six assists.
Sol Mercado also sparkled for Ginebra off the bench, finishing with 19 points on 5-for-6 shooting from the field, including 3-for-3 from three-point range and 6-for-7 from the free throw line. He also dished out four assists.
Japeth Aguilar added 15 markers while Mark Caguioa chipped in 13. Meralco suffered a second straight loss and fell to an even 2-2 win-loss card.
Clinging to a shaky three-point lead with less than five minutes left, the Kings unleashed a 12-1 run, eight of those points coming from Mercado, to erect a 14-point lead, 102-88, with 1:53 remaining in the game.
After Meralco's Reynel Hugnatan hit a free throw, Aguilar sealed the Ginebra win with a three-pointer.

The Philippine team, already assured of the championship as of Friday, will go for a sweep against lowly Chinese Taipei B in their final game Sunday.
Former NBA veteran Al Thornton finished with 20 points and 15 rebounds to once again spearhead PH-Mighty Sports.
Dewarick Spencer scored 19 points while Mike Singletary added 11 markers.
Filipino player Edrick Ferrer sank three straight triples in the dying seconds of the game to score nine points.
Egypt kept the game close until the fourth period when Thornton and company went on a rampage.
