TNT is headed to the PBA Season 50 Philippine Cup quarterfinals armed with a twice-to-beat edge, beating a Magnolia team featuring playing-coach LA Tenorio.
TNT rained on LA Tenorio’s parade as the Tropang 5G got the best of Magnolia, 94-83, in the PBA Season 50 Philippine Cup Sunday, Dec. 21.
The Tropang 5G seized control early before claiming their eighth win in the elimination round to nab the third twice-to-beat advantage.
Also guaranteed a Top 4 finish are league-leading San Miguel and Rain or Shine.
Tenorio saw action for the first time as a playing coach but the Hotshots dropped to the lower half of the quarterfinal cast at 6-5.
