TNT beats Magnolia 89-88 in PBA quarterfinals

In Wednesday's PBA Philippine Cup quarterfinal match, TNT Tropang 5G secured a crucial 89-88 victory over the second-seeded Magnolia Hotshots at PhilSports Arena.

Roger Pogoy led TNT with an explosive performance of 30 points, while Kelly Williams sealed the win with two free throws in the final moments.

TNT's coach Chot Reyes motivated his team by challenging them to prove their desire for victory, which spurred a strong comeback and nullified Magnolia's twice-to-beat advantage.

With this win, TNT forces a decisive game against Magnolia on Saturday at Ninoy Aquino Stadium, with the winner advancing to face either Rain or Shine or NLEX in the semifinals.
