Ginebra falls in Game 2, trails 0-2 as Brownlee struggles against TNT's defense

Ginebra lost Game 2 of the PBA Governors' Cup finals, falling behind 0-2 after a 96-84 defeat against TNT on Wednesday night.

Justin Brownlee, Ginebra's import player and leading scorer with an average of 28.3 points per game, admitted that TNT's stifling defense continues to be the key factor in their struggles.

Brownlee noted despite prior warnings from coach Tim Cone about facing a defensive powerhouse, Ginebra has been unable to generate open shots due to TNT's effective perimeter defense.

In Game 2, Brownlee scored just 19 points on 7-for-18 shooting while TNT’s Rondae Hollis-Jefferson had a double-double of 37 points and 13 rebounds.

Brownlee remains optimistic, stating that the series is 'first to four, not first to two' and emphasizing Ginebra's confidence in turning things around for Game 3 on Friday at Araneta Coliseum.
