TNT finally found some connection in the PBA Philippine Cup as the Tropang 5G rack up three straight wins to cancel out their poor start.
Don’t look now, but TNT Tropang 5G are back in the PBA Philippine Cup playoff hunt.
After an unexpected 0-3 start, the Grand Slam-seeking squad has ripped off three straight wins to even their record at 3-3, signaling a resurgence powered by their stars.
Calvin Oftana and RR Pogoy have been at the forefront of TNT’s revival, carrying the offensive load and setting the tone on both ends of the floor.
With their veteran presence and championship pedigree, the Tropang 5G are beginning to resemble the threat they were expected to be this conference.
