PBA: Jordan Heading savors first trip to Finals with TNT
Jordan Heading has made a significant impact in his first PBA playoffs for the TNT Tropang 5G, helping them reach the Philippine Cup Season 49 finals.
Heading was acquired in a trade late in the elimination round and has quickly integrated into TNT's system.
He has stepped up significantly due to multiple injuries to key players like Kelly Williams, Jayson Castro, Rey Nambatac, RR Pogoy, and Calvin Oftana.
In a crucial Game 4 victory, Heading scored a team-high 23 points, contributing to TNT's 3-1 lead over Rain or Shine.
Heading delivered his best performance yet in Game 6, exploding for 29 points, including nine in the fourth quarter, to seal the series win and a finals berth for TNT.
