TNT clinches fifth straight win but coach Reyes wants improvement

The TNT Tropang Giga secured their fifth consecutive victory in the PBA Commissioner's Cup with a 94-87 comeback win against NLEX.

Despite the win, coach Chot Reyes expressed concern about the team's performance, stating they need to play significantly better in their upcoming game.

TNT will face a "highly upgraded" Barangay Ginebra squad on Friday, January 17, a team now strengthened by former TNT player Troy Rosario and the return of Jamie Malonzo.

Reyes emphasized that their current level of play is insufficient to secure a victory against Ginebra.

In the game against NLEX, TNT overcame a nine-point deficit in the second half.

Key players Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Roger Pogoy, and Calvin Oftana led the comeback for TNT.

Hollis-Jefferson contributed 23 points, 14 rebounds, 7 assists, and 3 blocks, despite a challenging shooting night.

Pogoy scored 18 points, while Oftana added 14 points and 8 rebounds.

TNT has been undefeated since losing their first two games of the conference.
