2026 PBA Governor's Cup

TNT got another win, that’s 3 straight already in the playoffs, and Bol still had big numbers.

Looks like TNT has really become more stable now. They are finally using Bol more effectively, not just forcing him to carry everything early. Because of that, he still had extra energy in the 4th quarter, and that was where TNT made their big run.

By the looks of it, TNT has a strong chance to advance to the finals again.

Hopefully they will face Ginebra, but Ginebra has to start winning tonight first.

I think TNT will advance in the finals, the team veteran and other players are still not scoring the usual thing that they always do, but they already get the win, if Nambatak, Castro, will also click, the Boltz might not even go to game 5 or game 6, they were just warming up, especially Castro that is hungry he had miss a lot of games because of the injury but now that he comes back, things will be different maybe he were just in a minute restriction but still he will be one of the go to guy of the team, and also a playmaker.

Sorry, TNT wins.

You mean ROS? 

It was Clarito who got the best player of the game, and he really deserved it because of his defense, plus he was also shooting well in that game.

That 4th quarter run by ROS was really big, and their import also made some important shots down the stretch. Ginebra has a lot of studying to do on how to limit ROS in Game 2 because their shooting was very efficient. For Ginebra to have a better chance, they need to limit ROS to below 100 points, because once ROS gets comfortable with their outside shooting and ball movement, they become very hard to stop.

There's a lots of adjustments that they need to work on Kabayan, especially with how they will counter and try to manage ROS reinforcement, that performance coming from your import will give a motivation to the entire squad, he's not afraid and he's really working and talking with his fellow teammates, and the outcome they managed to survive that last quarter run gave them the win it's really a good team efforts for the whole ROS squad as they are rotating the ball as what coach Yeng dictated to them during timeouts.

Yeah I mean ROS, sorry.
And yes, that was Air Jordan Clarito. The guy is not that tall, even shorter than Holt, but when he gets rebounds you can tell he really works hard. No wonder he earns a lot of minutes even though he is not really the primary scorer of the team.

One thing I noticed about him is that he is very smart, even at the free throw line he does not miss. So Ginebra also needs to find ways to minimize his energy in Game 2 because his energy is contagious and it really lifts the whole ROS team.

But not every game he can do that. I think the biggest change there is really their import, he was efficient in that game and if that same production continues in Game 2, then ROS really has a chance to upset Ginebra, if that is the right word to use.

That Game 1 win was very important for ROS because they know Ginebra has a lot of fans and the next game will probably be on Friday or Saturday, where more Ginebra fans will likely show up. That could make things harder for ROS, and I think they might lose that game if Ginebra comes out stronger.
