TNT Tropang Giga look to regroup and regain control of the PBA Season 49 Governors’ Cup Finals in Game 4 against Barangay Ginebra on November 3 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Leading the series 2-1, TNT will aim to bounce back after a 73-85 loss in Game 3, where a lackluster fourth quarter saw them outscored 23-14 and ultimately sealed their defeat.

Despite the setback, TNT’s star import Rondae Hollis-Jefferson continued his impressive Finals form with 24 points, 14 rebounds, seven assists, and four steals.

However, support from the local players will be crucial as the Tropang Giga seek a stronger overall showing in Game 4.

Poy Erram chipped in with 12 points in Game 3, while Jayson Castro and RR Pogoy added 10 each. However, Calvin Oftana and Rey Nambatac struggled to find their rhythm, combining for only 11 points.


A win in Game 4 would allow TNT to build a commanding series lead, placing them one victory away from the championship.

Rebounding from their fourth-quarter woes and reigniting their offense will be key as they aim to reassert their Finals dominance over Ginebra and edge closer to another title.

Tip off for Game 4 will be at 7:30 p.m. live from the Big Dome.
