Ginebra wins PBA 47th Season Commissioner's Cup Finals

There was never in the history of the PBA that they were up against a powerful team from overseas. The Hong Kong-based basketball team competing for the East Asia Super League, the Bay Area Dragons, became the ultimate challenge for the homegrown PBA teams.

Still, the Ginebra team pulled both their offense and defense rather well until the very end of this decisive battle.
