TNT’s Playoff Experience Shines as NLEX Faces Critical Quarterfinals Challenge
As the Tropang Giga leverage their playoff experience, the spotlight is on how NLEX will respond in this crucial stage of their PBA Governors’ Cup quarterfinals series. With Game Four set for Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at Ninoy Aquino Stadium, TNT aims to secure a semifinals berth, holding a 2-1 lead after a commanding 109-91 victory at Ynares Sports Center in Antipolo.
The Tropang Giga rebounded impressively from a narrow 90-93 loss in Game Two, with Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and his teammates eager to close out the series. Coach Chot Reyes anticipates a fierce battle, preparing to counter NLEX’s expected fightback.
In their recent win, TNT’s strategic offense and tight defense limited NLEX stars Jalen Jones and Robert Bolick to a combined 28 points, while Hollis-Jefferson nearly matched their output with 27 points. His near triple-double performance, alongside strong contributions from Calvin Oftana, Rey Nambatac, and Glenn Khobuntin, highlighted TNT’s balanced attack.
Khobuntin’s perfect 5-of-5 three-point shooting underscored TNT’s offensive prowess. “We just want to win,” said Khobuntin, emphasizing the team’s focus on defense and seizing scoring opportunities.
As the series continues, the key question remains: How will the Road Warriors respond to TNT’s playoff-tested resolve?
