🔥🏀 IMPORTLESS BUT FEARLESS! TNT STUNS MERALCO IN THRILLER! 💥🇵🇭
Against all odds, the all-Filipino TNT Tropang 5G proved that HEART beats everything! 💛⚡
Playing without an import, TNT pulled off a stunning 77-75 victory over Meralco in Game 3 of the PBA Season 50 Commissioner’s Cup semifinals on May 24, 2026, grabbing a crucial 2-1 series lead! 👏🔥
⏳ Down by 6 points, 66-72, with only 3:09 left… ⚡ TNT unleashed a fiery 11-3 finishing run! 🎯 Roger "RR" Pogoy delivered the dagger — a cold-blooded game-winning triple with just 7.4 seconds remaining!
💪 LOCAL HEROES STEPPED UP: 🏀 Rey Nambatac – 18 PTS | 8 REB | 3 AST
🏀 Calvin Oftana – 15 PTS | 7 REB
🏀 Roger Pogoy – Clutch gene activated! 🔥
TNT faced major adversity after import Bol Bol suffered a season-ending partial Achilles tear in Game 2, while temporary replacement Malick Diouf could not suit up due to paperwork issues. But instead of backing down, the Tropang 5G showed grit, pride, and championship mentality.
🗣️ Coach Chot Reyes after the game: "More than the caliber and depth of our team, I think it's our heart, really... it was just about setting our minds right, that we have a chance."
One thing is clear — NEVER count out TNT! ⚡🔥
