In a rematch of last year’s bubble finals, the TNT Tropang Giga exacted revenge on Barangay Ginebra with an 88-67 blasting in the PBA Philippine Cup at the DHVSU Gym in Bacolor, Pampanga on Sunday, September 12.
Rookie Mikey Williams sizzled once again for the Tropang Giga as he finished with a game-high 27 points on 4-of-7 shooting from deep as they improved to 8-1 and remained at the top of the standings.
Leading by only 4 points at the end of the opening period, 20-16, the Tropang Giga flipped the switch in the second quarter and outscored the Gin Kings, 25-16, to extend the gap to double digits, 45-32, at halftime.
The league-leading Tropang Giga never looked back in the second half as they stretched the lead to as many as 24 points, 82-58, which proved too much for the Gin Kings to overcome with only six minutes left in the game.
Jayson Castro and Troy Rosario added 14 points apiece for TNT, while RR Pogoy contributed 13 markers and 8 rebounds in the 21-point victory.
Japeth Aguilar finished with 18 points, while Christian Standhardinger had 14 points and 9 boards for Ginebra, which suffered its second straight loss and dropped to 3-5 in the standings.
