TNT regained control of the series with a dominant Game 3 performance, leading by as many as 26 points in a strong bounce-back effort following their narrow Game 2 loss.

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson once again led the way for the Tropang Giga, delivering a near triple-double with 27 points, 12 rebounds, and 8 assists. His all-around play has been crucial in TNT's success throughout the series.


The Tropang Giga also got a significant boost from their local core, with Calvin Oftana scoring 18 points and Rey Nambatac and Glenn Khobuntin each adding 17.

Heading into Game 4, TNT will look to maintain its intensity and close out the series and continue its title defense.

Tip off for Game 4 is 7:30 p.m.
