TNT catches fire late to bring down Rain or Shine in Game One
TNT went on a scoring spree early in the fourth quarter to score a 116-99 win over Rain or Shine and take the headstart in their PBA Philippine Cup quarterfinals series on Friday night at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
The Tropang Giga outscored the Elasto Painters, 23-8, in the first six minutes of the final period to pull away from what until then was a tight ballgame and seal the win.
Veteran Kelly Williams punctuated the run with a three pointer as TNT took a 1-0 lead in the best-of-three series.
Calvin Oftana finished with a game-high 32 points and Roger Pogoy with 26 for TNT, which will try to close the series out on Sunday.
