TNT and Barangay Ginebra face contrasting situations when it comes to the health and fitness of their players but their goals remain all the same – take a commanding lead in the PBA Season 49 Cup semifinals at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on Sunday, March 2.
The Tropang Giga will have to find a way to live without veteran guard Jayson Castro when they face the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters for a huge 3-0 lead in the first offering at 5 p.m.
TNT, however, will have a huge void to fill in with Castro out with a season-ending knee injury which he sustained during the Tropang Giga’s 93-91 escape against the Elasto Painters in Game 2. “This could have been easily 2-0 the other way. That’s how close the series is. We don’t feel we are up 2-0 at all and our approach for the next game is as if we do not have that kind of advantage,” said Reyes.
Jamie Malonzo had his best game since his return with 17 points in the masterful 119-106 win over NorthPort while Jeremiah Gray also looked good with six points in just nine minutes of play.
