Brownlee expressed his gratitude to the fans, stating, "These fans gave us the energy to go out there and win. TNT gave us a battle, but as coach Tim kept telling us, 'this is our time.'" The victory added to Brownlee's tally, marking his seventh PBA championship.

Scottie Thompson played a pivotal role with 19 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists, earning the Finals Most Valuable Player (MVP) title from the PBA Press Corps. Thompson shared his emotions, saying this MVP win was particularly emotional due to the unexpected challenges he faced.
