Barangay Ginebra San Miguel completed a remarkable turnaround in its 2022 PBA Governors' Cup Finals campaign, bagging the championship as a 6th seed by finishing off the Meralco Bolts, 103-92, in front of a crowd of 20,224 on Friday at the Mall of Asia Arena.

LA Tenorio and Justin Brownlee conspired in a pivotal 11-0 run in the fourth quarter to push Ginebra ahead, 96-80, time down to 4:35. The Bolts cut it to ten, but Tenorio, who led Ginebra with 30 points, hit a floater and a triple to put the game away.
Ginebra got offense from a variety of sources. Brownlee knocked down 24 points, Christian Standhardinger had 19, while Scottie Thompson, who was named Finals MVP, added 15.

The Gin Kings lost four straight games in the elimination round to drop to the sixth seed with a 6-5 record, but found their mojo in the playoffs, overcoming a twice-to-beat disadvantage against the third seed TNT Tropang Giga in the quarterfinals before dispatching second seed NLEX Road Warriors in four games in the semifinals to set up a third Governors' Cup finals clash with the fourth-seeded Bolts.

After falling behind 1-2 in the finals, the Gin Kings swept the last three games to claim the franchise's fourth Governors' Cup title and 14th overall, moving them into a tie for second place in league history with the Alaska and Purefoods franchises. The San Miguel Beermen are the winningest franchise of all time with 27 titles.

The victory also gave Tim Cone his 24th PBA title, the most in league history and nine more than the late Baby Dalupan. Among active coaches, Bolts coach Norman Black has the second-most with 11.

Black lost for the sixth time in a PBA championship series to Cone, while Meralco lost to Ginebra for the fourth time in a Governors' Cup Finals.

Congratulations Barangay Ginebra San Miguel Kings
