Justin Brownlee shone brightly in Barangay Ginebra's recent victory over Rain or Shine, scoring 40 points during the PBA Commissioner’s Cup match.
The 38-year-old import shot 13-of-24 from the field and contributed eight rebounds, five assists, two blocks, and a steal, helping his team secure a 114-90 win.
Following the game at Smart Araneta Coliseum, Brownlee was quick to credit his teammates for his impressive scoring performance.
You can see the way they screen and look for me. They orchestrate the game and get me to certain areas of the floor; they’re a huge help.

Brownlee mentioned that he did not enter the game with a focus on scoring a specific number of points, but rather emphasized the collective effort of the team.
He praised Coach Tim Cone for effectively managing the offense and making adjustments to the team's play style.
I don’t want to score 40 but it’s definitely a team effort. Coach Tim does a great job on the offense, showing us things and tweaking the triangle a little bit.
