TNT successfully defended its PBA Governors’ Cup throne in dramatic fashion, coming from behind to beat Ginebra, 95-85, and finish the series in six, Friday night at the SMART Araneta Coliseum.
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson plus the veteran tandem of Kelly Williams and Jayson Castro joined handa for the telling 8-0 run to turn a slim deficit to a 91-85 lead with 1:20 remaining.
Then came the dagger courtesy of Roger Pogoy with 53 seconds left to play as the Tropang Giga went on to complete the comeback after trailing by as many as 11 points in the third.
The series finishing in six was similar to their 2023 finale of the same conference.
TNT has now annexed its 10th PBA title overall.
