Gin Kings capture PBA title

Ginebra raced from behind to snatch Game 6 from San Miguel, 96-94, last night at the Big Dome. The win locked up the 2007 Philippine Cup for the preaseason favorites, four games to two.

Finals MVP Jayjay Helterbrand connected on two freethrows with 2.9 seconds remaining for the winning margin. SMB's Lordy Tugade overshot a desperation three, while Olsen Racela shot a banker after the final buzzer had sounded.

Great comeback win for the Gins as they rallied from 16 points down in the first half. More scintillating is their series comeback though, sweeping the last four games after they dropping the first two games.
