MANILA, Philippines — Veteran guard Rey Nambatac banged in what proved to be the dagger triple late in the game to lift TNT to a pulse-pounding 87-85 win to regain the series lead against Barangay Ginebra in Game 3 of their PBA Season 49 Commissioner's Cup finals on Wednesday at the Philsports Arena.
MANILA, Philippines — Veteran guard Rey Nambatac banged in what proved to be the dagger triple late in the game to lift TNT to a pulse-pounding 87-85 win to regain the series lead against Barangay Ginebra in Game 3 of their PBA Season 49 Commissioner's Cup finals on Wednesday at the Philsports Arena. The left-handed former Letran star scattered 15 of his 24 points in the second half, lacing his solid offensive night with a game-high five three-pointers.
The three-time PBA Best Import sustained the injury while diving for the loose ball. TNT forward Glenn Khobuntin then scored on a basket off a turnover by Ginebra rookie RJ Abarrientos with 14 seconds left, that all but sealed TNT's win to wrest the series lead, 2-1. Scottie Thompson knocked down a triple with 2.6 seconds to go, but time clearly wasn't on Ginebra's side.
