TNT TROPANG GIGA CLIMB OUT OF 23-POINT HOLE TO DENY PHOENIX

TNT made a quick turnaround in the third quarter to overcome a 23-point deficit against Phoenix and pull off a 108-101 victory on Wednesday in the PBA 48th Season Philippine Cup at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.

The Tropang Giga outscored the Fuelmasters, 42-19, in the third period to wipe out a 62-39 deficit and improve their win-loss record to 5-4 following the gutsy victory.

The quartet of Roger Pogoy, Calvin Oftana, Kelly Williams, and Kim Aurin spearheaded TNT’s comeback in the third that turned a 42-62 halftime deficit into an 84-81 lead.

The performances where shades of their comeback victory in Candon City, Ilocos Sur where TNT went on a 28-14 rampage in the fourth to beat NLEX, 104-101, after overcoming a 12-point deficit last April 13.

Phoenix dropped to 3-6, with the sorry defeat hurting its quarterfinal bid.
