The TNT Tropang Giga continue their search for signal in an erratic start to the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup.
Still searching for their first win in the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup, Calvin Oftana and TNT look to finally get their campaign off the ground when they face Phoenix on Friday, May 2.
Match is at 7:30 p.m at the Ynares Center in Montalban, with fans getting treated to a livestream on One Sports' YouTube channel powered by Pilipinas Live.

At 0-2, the Tropang 5G have endured a rocky start to their Grand Slam bid, falling to NLEX in their opening duel before dropping a close 94-100 decision to Converge.
Oftana was the lone bright spot in their latest loss at the Ynares Center in Antipolo, pouring in 33 points in a valiant effort that ultimately came up short.
With their backs against the wall and pride on the line, the Tropang 5G will need more support around Oftana to avoid an early spiral in the standings.
A win against fellow struggling Fuel Masters (1-3) could be the spark they need to salvage momentum moving forward.
