TNT earned a measure of revenge following a dominant 116-92 conquest of Terrafirma for a swashbuckling continuation to its PBA Season 50 Governors’ Cup campaign on Wednesday night at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.
The Tropang 5G began to take control of the bout late in the second chapter before breaking away wide in the third canto toward getting even with the Dyip after falling in overtime, 111-106, during their previous encounter last July 25.
The reigning conference champions hiked their record to 5-4 following the win, gaining a share of the third spot with Converge in the seven-team Group A.
“Finally, medyo nakakabalik na ‘yung some of our key players, Calvin [Oftana and Jayson [Castro] specifically,” offered head coach Chot Reyes.
Calvin Oftana, in his first game back since the Season 50 Commissioner’s Cup Finals last June, starred with 31 points to lead the traditional contenders in the victory that served as a warm welcome as well to Jayson Castro.
