TNT begins grand slam quest vs NLEX

TNT, now known as Tropang 5G, begins its quest for a rare grand slam in the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup against NLEX.

The team previously achieved this feat in the Governors' Cup and Commissioner's Cup, positioning them to join an elite group of PBA grand slam winners.

Despite missing import Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, TNT is considered a favorite, though NLEX coach Jong Uichico sees it as an opportunity to challenge them during their adjustment period.

Tropang 5G aims to banish their 'asa sa import' tag by winning this all-Filipino conference.

The PBA Philippine Cup games on Wednesday will feature NLEX versus TNT at 5 p.m., followed by Terrafirma against Ginebra at 7:30 p.m.
