Yeng Guiao: 'Lumalaban 'yung team'
Rain or Shine head coach Yeng Guiao remains optimistic about his team's chances against the TNT Tropang Giga in their PBA Commissioner's Cup semifinal series, despite being down 0-2.
The Elasto Painters lost Game 1, 88-84, and Game 2, 93-91, with both games being close contests.
Guiao attributes some of the losses to a lack of playoff experience, leading to "lack of experience mistakes" in crucial endgame situations.
Despite the losses, Guiao praised his young squad for fighting and noted their ability to bring the favored TNT team into close games.
In Game 2, import Deon Thompson scored 22 points and 14 rebounds, while Adrian Nocum contributed 19 points but missed a crucial shot.
Rain or Shine had multiple chances in the final two minutes of Game 2 but could not convert key baskets.
