TNT, Ginebra clash in PBA Commissioner's Cup Finals anew

The PBA Season 49 Commissioner's Cup Finals between TNT and Barangay Ginebra begins Friday, March 14, at the Mall of Asia Arena.

This marks their third championship showdown and second consecutive finals meeting, with Ginebra seeking payback for previous losses to TNT.

Last conference, TNT, led by import Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, defeated Ginebra with import Justin Brownlee in six games for the Governors' Cup title.

The Finals will feature a coaching duel between TNT's Chot Reyes and Ginebra's Tim Cone, who are familiar with each other's strategies.

Ginebra's roster is bolstered by the return of Jamie Malonzo and Jeremiah Gray from injuries, and the acquisition of Troy Rosario.

TNT will be without Jayson Castro due to a knee injury sustained in the semifinals.

Hollis-Jefferson aims to build a legacy in the PBA similar to Brownlee, who has won six PBA titles.

Justin Brownlee plans to rest after this conference before potentially joining Gilas for the FIBA Asia Cup and World Cup qualifiers.
