LA Tenorio took note of Rondae Hollis-Jefferson's actions in Game 3, which could dictate TNT's Game 4 response to Ginebra in the PBA Governors' Cup Finals.
Despite finally being able to take one game off of TNT Tropang Giga in the PBA Governors’ Cup Finals, the Gin Kings still have their work cut out for them in the titular showdown.
For one, Ginebra is yet to slow down TNT’s Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, who has been on an absolute tear in the playoffs.
Even during Ginebra’s Game 3 victory, RHJ dominated for the Tropang Giga, going for 24 points, 14 rebounds, seven assists, and four steals.

But more than the numbers, the Gin Kings are wary of Hollis-Jefferson’s actions, as TNT goes where the prolific import takes them. And RHJ seems like he’s only going in one direction: to the title.
“Kita niyo kanina si RHJ kahit patapos na yung game derecho pa rin ayaw tumigil,” noted Ginebra veteran LA Tenorio on his team’s opposing import.
“I think it’s a sign, ako tingin ko dun na pinakita niya sa team niya na sa next game ready sila and we’ll have to be ready also,” he added.
