TNT falls short of Grand Slam but wins two PBA titles

TNT coach Chot Reyes expressed pride in his team's performance throughout the PBA season, despite their Grand Slam bid falling short.

The Tropang Giga secured two championships, winning the Governors' Cup and Commissioner's Cup before losing the Philippine Cup finals to San Miguel in Game 6.

Team owner Manny V. Pangilinan echoed Reyes' sentiment, stating the team should have their "heads bowed in sorrow but not in shame."

Reyes emphasized that reaching three finals and winning two is a significant achievement, and the players deserve rest after a grueling 75-game season.

The team faced significant personnel challenges due to a string of injuries throughout the campaign, losing key players like Jayson Castro, Rey Nambatac, Simon Enciso, and Poy Erram, particularly impacting their lineup for the finals.
