TNT exploited Robert Bolick’s absence as it walloped NLEX, 119-100, in the PBA Season 50 Philippine Cup Saturday, Dec. 13.

The Tropang 5G thus booked a quarterfinal seat with their 6-3 mark at joint third with Magnolia and Converge.

While TNT snapped a two-game skid, the Road Warriors slumped to back-to-back losses for a 6-4 tally at sixth.

TNT remains in the fight for a Top Four finish and looks to beef up its chances when it takes on Blackwater at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium in Malate Friday, Dec. 19.

He continues to be involved in the sport he loves, but this time as a member of the PBA Press Corps. Aside from primarily covering the PBA, he is also assigned to cover Gilas Pilipinas.
