TNT Tropang Giga defeated Barangay Ginebra 91-86 in the PBA Commissioner’s Cup at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on Friday evening.

Calvin Oftana led the charge for TNT with an impressive 32-point performance. Oftana’s crucial free throws in the final moments ensured TNT’s victory, preventing Ginebra’s late comeback attempt.

TNT’s Rondae Hollis-Jefferson also played a key role, contributing significantly to the team’s defensive and offensive play.

His experience and skill helped stabilize the team, especially during the tense closing minutes. TNT’s strategy focused on strong defensive plays while maintaining offensive pressure against Ginebra.

Ginebra, known for its strong fan following, made a valiant effort to close the gap. Despite their determination, they struggled against TNT’s consistent defense.

Justin Brownlee, a standout player for Ginebra, tried to rally his team with several crucial shots. However, TNT’s defensive setup effectively neutralized Brownlee’s efforts.

The game began with TNT taking an early lead, showcasing their offensive prowess. Ginebra tried to counter with a series of strategic plays, emphasizing ball movement and perimeter shooting.

Despite their efforts, they found it challenging to overcome TNT’s defense.

In the second half, Ginebra attempted to mount a comeback. They increased their defensive intensity and focused on exploiting TNT’s vulnerabilities. This strategy saw them narrow the lead, creating an exciting finish for the fans in attendance.

The final quarter was a showcase of tactical adjustments and intense gameplay. Both teams exchanged leads, keeping the outcome uncertain. TNT’s resilience, however, proved decisive. Oftana’s scoring and Hollis-Jefferson’s defensive plays were instrumental in securing the win.

This victory adds to TNT’s successful run in the tournament. The team’s coach praised the players for their execution and determination on the court. He highlighted Oftana’s performance as a key factor in their success.

For Ginebra, the loss was a setback. Their coach emphasized the need for improved execution in crucial moments. He acknowledged the team’s effort but pointed out areas requiring attention, especially in defense and transition play.
