Chot Reyes proud of TNT's resilience, misses Grand Slam

Despite losing to San Miguel Beermen in Game 6 on Friday night, TNT Tropang 5G head coach Chot Reyes expressed pride in his team's performance and praised their resilience throughout a challenging season.

TNT won the PBA Governors' Cup and Commissioner's Cup but narrowly missed achieving a historic Grand Slam by falling short against San Miguel in the Philippine Cup.

Reyes emphasized that their achievement is significant given the current 12-team field, noting it was more challenging than previous years with fewer teams.

The coach acknowledged the team's injuries throughout the season, including key players like Jayson Castro and Simon Enciso, yet praised their perseverance despite a thin lineup in the finals.

TNT played a record-breaking 75 games in the season, tying Alaska Milk's record from 1995.

Reyes expressed no regrets about coming close to the Grand Slam, stating that almost achieving it is more satisfying than not getting there at all.
