Aiming to leave its mark in the annals of PBA history, the Tropang 5G know it is imperative for them to set the tone in the race-to-four duel especially against the Beermen who are no stranger to the pressure, the bright lights and the atmosphere of the all-Filipino finale.

Tip-off of the clash is at 7:30 p.m. with the TNT hoping that the week-long rest is enough for them to be competitive against SMB following the injuries to their key players.

TNT head coach Chot Reyes is leaning on his team’s heart and resilience that actually brought them the chance to go after the rare triple crown.
