PBA Finals guide: TNT vs Ginebra schedule, where to watch, results

Royal rematch it is.

Just like Season 47, it will be the TNT Tropang Giga and the Barangay Ginebra San Miguel clashing for the PBA Governors' Cup trophy. Only this time, the Tropang Giga are the reigning champions and the Barangay are the challengers aiming to reclaim their throne.

While there's plenty of familiar faces on both sides--bannered by imports Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Justin Brownlee--there's also a number of fiery additions that could become X-factors like Rey Nambatac and RJ Abarrientos.

Check out the schedule, where to watch, and other information here.
