Rey Nambatac was named PBA Commissioner's Cup Finals MVP after leading TNT to a championship victory.

He stepped up as the primary playmaker for TNT after veteran Jayson Castro suffered a season-ending injury.

Nambatac averaged 17.85 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 3.4 assists in the seven-game series against Barangay Ginebra.

In the decisive Game 7, he contributed 22 points, four assists, three steals, and two rebounds to help TNT win.

Nambatac admitted he did not expect to win the award, as his main focus was securing another championship for TNT.

He dedicated his award to Jayson Castro, who he said boosted his confidence.

Castro expressed his admiration for Nambatac's performance, stating "He really deserves the award because you all saw that he took over from when I was gone."

This victory marks Nambatac's second straight PBA championship, and TNT's opportunity for a Grand Slam remains alive after winning the Governors' Cup.
