PBA: TNT’s rout of Phoenix shows bounce-back character
TNT Tropang Giga has secured a playoff spot in the PBA Commissioner's Cup following a 106-70 victory over the Phoenix Fuel Masters.
The win demonstrated TNT's bounce-back character after an uncharacteristic loss to Terrafirma, with coach Chot Reyes hoping the team learns from that experience.
Import Rondae Hollis-Jefferson led TNT with 15 points, supported by Roger Pogoy's 12 points and a balanced offensive effort from other local players.
TNT's improved defense was crucial in limiting Phoenix to a season-low 70 points.
The Tropang Giga now hold a 7-3 record, placing them in a three-way tie for third with Meralco and Hong Kong Eastern.
With two games remaining against San Miguel Beer and Rain or Shine, TNT has opportunities to improve their ranking for the quarterfinals.
