The Tropang Giga will have added firepower going to the 7 p.m. match as Gilas Pilipinas stalwart Calvin Oftana and veteran big man Jewel Ponferada will finally suit up for the team.
TNT seeks payback and a first ever win in EASL history as it meets anew undefeated Chiba Jets on All Saints Day Wednesday, Nov. 1, at the Sta. Rosa Sports Complex in Laguna.
TNT matched Chiba power for power during the first half, but lacking personnel – the team also played minus Mikey Williams, Roger Pogoy, Poy Erram, and Justin Chua – the Triple Giga lost steam when the Jets further stepped on the pedal gas in the third period on the way to the 18-point win. The Tropang Giga again will have the 1-2 combo of Quincy Miller and a well-rested Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, who was coming off a stint with the Jordan national team in the FIBA World Cup and 19th Asian Games when he suited up straight for the team in the regional meet’s opening game for its Home And Away season.
“I feel like with the two imports that we have, we have a better chance of competing here,” added Lastimosa, whose team hasn’t won in three EASL games so far stretching back to the Champions Week season last March.
