Bruised butstill fighting
TNT Tropang Giga head coach Chot Reyes is urging his team to remain resilient amidst significant injury setbacks in the PBA Philippine Cup Finals against the San Miguel Beermen.
Key players including guards Jayson Castro and Rey Nambatac, along with big man Poy Erram who has a high ankle injury, are sidelined, weakening TNT's roster.
The team's grand slam bid is becoming bleaker as they trail San Miguel 1-2 in the best-of-seven series after losing the last two games.
Erram's absence was particularly felt in Game 3, allowing San Miguel's June Mar Fajardo to dominate inside.
Despite the challenges, TNT is preparing to offer tougher resistance in Game 4, with Reyes emphasizing the need for his depleted team to keep fighting against a strong opponent.
