‘Slam’-seeking Tropang 5G get winning streak going after destroying despicable Dyip
TNT Tropang 5G secured their second consecutive win in the PBA Philippine Cup, defeating Terrafirma Dyip 110-74, breaking a two-conference curse.
This victory follows their recent triumph over San Miguel Beer and marks a significant turnaround after an initial three-game losing streak.
Calvin Oftana led TNT's offense with 22 points, supported by Poy Erram's 19 markers and Rey Nambatac's 12 points.
Coach Chot Reyes stated it's too early to tell if the win signifies TNT regaining its form, emphasizing the need to play tougher games.
However, Reyes is confident the blowout win will boost his team's confidence heading into a significant showdown against defending champions Meralco.
The Tropang 5G and Bolts will meet Sunday at Ninoy Aquino Stadium, where TNT's rebounding will be tested against Meralco's strength in that department.
The blowout allowed Reyes to rest his main players, which may be beneficial for the upcoming match against Meralco.
