TNT lead cut in half as Rain or Shine has life in semis | PBA schedule

Now we have a series.

The Rain or Shine Elasto Painters managed to breathe life into their PBA Season 49 Governors’ Cup semifinal series, securing a thrilling 110-109 victory in Game 3 over the TNT Tropang Giga.

After being dominated by TNT in the first two games—most notably a 108-91 Game 2 loss—Rain or Shine’s win marks its first semifinal victory since 2019.

Despite dropping their first game of the semifinals, TNT should still feel relatively good as the Tropang Giga had the final shot to potentially win Game 3.

But as Rondae Hollis-Jefferson missed the game-winner for the defending champions, Rain or Shine has life and could potentially start to drag this into a longer series. 

Here is the remaining schedule for the TNT-Rain or Shine semifinals in the PBA Governors’ Cup:

• Game 4: October 16 at Smart Araneta Coliseum, 5:00 p.m.
  
• Game 5: October 18 at Ynares Center Antipolo, 7:30 p.m.
  
• If necessary, Game 6: October 20 at Smart Araneta Coliseum, 5:00 p.m.
  
• If necessary, Game 7: October 23 at Smart Araneta Coliseum, 7:30 p.m.
  

Previous results:

• Game 1: TNT def. Rain or Shine, 90-81
  
• Game 2: TNT def. Rain or Shine, 108-91
  
• Game 3: Rain or Shine def. TNT, 110-109
