Game 6: Tropa to fight ‘like hell’
MANILA, Philippines — Down but not out, TNT is committed to put up a big fight and stop Barangay Ginebra from delivering the kill shot and ascending to the PBA Commissioner’s Cup throne.
After leading, 2-1, the Tropang Giga dropped back-to-back games, 95-78 and 73-66, to find themselves in a do-or-die situation in tomorrow’s Game 6 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
“I see us fighting like hell, fighting to win, fighting to play an excellent game, fighting to give maximum effort all 48 minutes, whether we go up or not, and just staying locked in (in Game 6),” Rondae Hollis-Jefferson said with strong conviction.
RHJ and Co. went up by as many as 10 in the Game 5 tiebreaker last Sunday but coughed up only 11 in the third and 10 in the fourth, allowing Ginebra to steal the third W and get on the hill.
“Well, basketball is about scoring points, putting the ball in the basket and we couldn’t do it,” rued Reyes. whose troops missed several gimmes and open long shots in the stretch.
Ginebra, meanwhile, is ready to face TNT’s fighting stand head-on.
“We will come and try with all our might (to clinch it),” said Justin Brownlee.
