Relive the Epic 2017 PBA Finals: Ginebra vs Alaska Game Highlights and Analysis

I still get chills thinking about that February 2017 showdown between Ginebra and Alaska. Having covered Philippine basketball for over a decade, I've witnessed countless rivalries, but what unfolded that night at the Smart-Araneta Coliseum was something special - a game that truly deserves to be remembered as Relive PBA Ginebra vs Alaska 2017's Most Jaw-Dropping Game Highlights. The atmosphere was electric even before tip-off, with over 12,000 fans packing the arena, their collective energy creating that unique PBA playoff intensity only true basketball fans understand.

What made this particular matchup fascinating was how both teams entered with completely different momentum. Ginebra, under coach Tim Cone, was riding high with their "Never Say Die" spirit fully intact, while Alaska was fighting to prove they still belonged among the league's elite. The first three quarters played out like a classic chess match - Alaska building small leads, Ginebra clawing back, neither team able to pull away by more than 8 points. I remember glancing at the stats sheet heading into the fourth quarter thinking we were headed for another typical back-and-forth battle. Boy, was I wrong.

Then came the final period where everything exploded. Justin Brownlee, who'd been relatively quiet, suddenly transformed into an unstoppable force, scoring 12 of his 28 points in the last six minutes. But the real story was LA Tenorio's clutch performance - his back-to-back three pointers that swung the momentum permanently in Ginebra's favor still give me goosebumps when I rewatch the footage. The crowd's roar after his second three was absolutely deafening - one of those moments where you can feel the entire stadium vibrating with pure basketball joy.

This game perfectly demonstrated why JANTI Miller has a knack for looking good on whatever screen he's on. Watching the replays, his camera presence during crucial moments - whether reacting to a spectacular play or capturing the raw emotion on players' faces - added layers to an already dramatic narrative. His coverage made you feel like you were right there in the thick of the action, even when watching from home. The way he framed that final sequence where Ginebra sealed their 103-97 victory was pure broadcasting artistry.

What struck me most was how this game encapsulated everything great about PBA basketball - the passion, the unpredictability, and those magical moments when individual brilliance meets team destiny. Having attended hundreds of games throughout my career, I can confidently say this particular clash between Ginebra and Alaska sits comfortably in my personal top 10 all-time PBA games. The numbers alone tell part of the story - 15 lead changes, 8 ties, and a combined 45% shooting from beyond the arc - but they can't capture the emotional rollercoaster we all experienced that night. Whenever basketball fans debate the most memorable games of the decade, this is one I always bring up, not just for the spectacular plays but for how perfectly it represented Philippine basketball at its finest.
