Meralco leaned on CJ Cansino and Bong Quinto for a sizzling start before notching its first victory over TNT in Game 3 of the best-of-seven PBA Season 50 Philippine Cup semifinals.
Meralco leaned on a hot start to score its first win over TNT, 97-89, in Game 3 of the PBA Season 50 Philippine Cup semifinals at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Cubao Friday, Jan. 9.
Unlike in the series opener where it collapsed despite holding a 21-point lead, there was no meltdown this time for the Bolts, who jumped to a 46-32 lead behind CJ Cansino and Bong Quinto.
Since then, Meralco maintained the voltage high enough to chalk up a victory after faltering in the first two games of the best-of-seven series.
The Bolts will now focus on tying the series in Game 4 which is set on Sunday, Jan. 11.
