TNT clinches top seed with dominant win over NorthPort

TNT secured a dominant 99-79 victory over an undermanned NorthPort in their final PBA Governors' Cup elimination game, finishing with an 8-2 record and clinching the top seed in Pool A.

Poy Erram led TNT with 17 points and 13 rebounds, supported by strong performances from Rey Nambatac, Roger Pogoy, and Henry Galinato Jr.

Despite resting their import Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, TNT pulled away in the fourth quarter against a NorthPort squad playing without an import due to an injury.

NorthPort, ending their conference with a 3-7 record, was led by Arvin Tolentino's 24 points and Cade Flores' 18 points.

TNT head coach Chot Reyes expressed satisfaction with the team's offensive improvements observed during the game, noting recent struggles.

TNT is now set to face either NLEX or Blackwater in the quarterfinals, depending on the outcomes of upcoming games.
