TROPA, GIN KINGS NOT RESTING EASY

That’s why defending champion TNT and Barangay Ginebra aren’t resting easy as they head to Game 2 of their respective PBA Governors’ Cup semifinal assignments today at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

The Tropang Giga, after their opening 90-81 verdict, seek a 2-nil edge and create more distance from Rain or Shine in the race-to-four affair at 5 p.m. while the Gin Kings shoot for a followup to their 122-105 Game 1 romp versus San Miguel Beer at 7:30 p.m.
