ANTIPOLO — NLEX pulled through despite losing DeQuan Jones by outlasting TNT in overtime, 118-111, to regain its winning ways in the PBA Season 50 Governors’ Cup at the Ynares Center here on Tuesday night.
The Road Warriors lost their import to a broken leg during the third and understandably lost the lead, but got their bearings in time to bring themselves back into the match in a solid display of character despite the situation.
Robert Bolick himself knocked down a big four-pointer to eventually force extra time, before LJ Gonzales and Tony Semerad came in to help out in the breakaway en route to bouncing back from a shock loss to Terrafirma.
As a result, NLEX kept its hold of the Group A lead after improving to 7-1, while TNT fell to 4-4 similar to Converge after falling short once more.
