TNT DRAWS FIRST BLOOD VERSUS ROS
The Philippine Star
|June 26, 2025
Banking on its stingy defense, TNT struck the first blow on Rain or Shine.
And having neutralized their opponents' vaunted running game, the grand slam-hunting Tropang 5G collared the 98-91 win for the head start in their PBA Philippine Cup semifinal series last night at the MOA Arena.
"I think our defense held," said coach Chot Reyes, whose charges held ROS to only seven points in transition, way off its usual norm of 21, and 17 markers off their usual 48-minute production.
