Defending champion TNT aims to take a commanding 3-0 advantage over Brgy. Ginebra in the PBA Governors’ Cup Finals at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Cubao on Friday, Nov. 1.

The Tropang Giga opened the best-of-seven series with a 104-88 victory and wasted no time by prevailing anew in the next match, 96-84, last Wednesday, Oct. 30.

Despite a slow start in Game 2, TNT turned the tide behind the stellar performance of import Rondae Hollis-Jefferson.

Hollis-Jefferson has been a force on both ends of the floor. His dominance, combined with the strong play of the bench, keyed the Tropang Giga's victory.

The Gin Kings, led by Justin Brownlee, will need to improve on their offensive efficiency and tighten up their defense to stop streaking TNT.

Ginebra must find a way to slow down Hollis-Jefferson and limit TNT’s three-point shooting.

Game 3 unfurls at 7:30 p.m.
