Purefoods Chunkee's miraculous recovery in the semifinals did not go for naught as the Giants came up with one big game Friday night to subdue the Red Bull Barakos, 90-83, and capture the Gran Matador Brandy PBA Philippine Cup title.
Displaying solid teamwork, determination and grit, Purefoods put Red Bull away with an 8-2 run in the fourth quarter to wrap the series up, 4-2.
It was the first championship for the Giants since 2002 and they did it with a cast of young players whom coach Ryan Gregorio assembled and painstakingly steered from the time he officially took over the reigns in 2003.
Kerby Raymundo, who took the mantle of leadership from Alvin
Patrimonio (now the team's manager), led all scorers with 27 points and grabbed 14 rebounds as he carried the fight for the Giants all night.
This is a triumph of the human spirit. When people said we can't do it, we proved them wrong. Impossible is nothing to us," said
Purefoods coach Ryan Gregorio.
