The Tropang 5G are fresh off a 110-103 road win over Converge in Vigan — their most complete game of the conference so far that pushed them to a 2-1 mark.

Veterans Kelly Williams and Brandon Ganuelas-Rosser added 14 markers apiece, while Rey Nambatac came through in the clutch, drilling two crucial four-pointers late in the game for 10 points.
Now tied in a four-way logjam atop the standings with Magnolia, NLEX and Converge, TNT aims to break free for solo leadership.
The Tropang 5G, however, could not afford to relax against the Gian Risers, who are eager to snap their two-game skid after a strong start.
Expect TNT to lean on its balanced offense and veteran composure as it shoots for back-to-back wins.
