Rey Nambatac buried the game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer to lift TNT past Converge, 110-107, in a dramatic end to its two-game slide in the PBA Season 50 Governors’ Cup at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium on Tuesday night.
The Tropang 5G went to their lefty PG for the final shot when the game was tied at 107-all after Jamaal Franklin went 4-for-4 from the line on the other end, and he went on to deliver by knocking down the outside shot under duress.
He went on to finish with 30 big points as the 32-year-old took much of the scoring load after fellow guards Jordan Heading and Roger Pogoy went down in pain one after the other, adding more woes to an already injury-riddled side.
TNT improved to 2-2 after completing the comeback from a tepid start, which saw the crew yield 16 straight points to the FiberXers to open the ball game.
