Riding on a four-game winning run, Calvin Oftana and the TNT Tropang Giga are among the handful of teams still fighting for the two twice-to-beat incentives in the ongoing PBA Commissioner's Cup.
Surging TNT seeks to maintain a flawless start to 2025 and extend its winning streak to five games, locking horns with the NLEX Road Warriors in the main event of the PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup Wednesday double-header.
Tipoff is at 7:30 p.m. at the PhilSports Arena.
Currently holding a 4-2 record, TNT remains in contention for a twice-to-beat advantage in the playoffs alongside NorthPort, Converge, Rain or Shine, Brgy. Ginebra, and Eastern.
The Tropang Giga have been clutch in their last two victories, both nail-biters decided by a combined margin of four points.

Their most recent triumph was a 98-96 thriller over the Converge FiberXers in which do-it-all import Rondae Hollis-Jefferson continued to be TNT’s driving force with 31 points, 11 rebounds, four assists, and two steals.
Meanwhile, RR Pogoy provided vital support with 22 points, including five triples, along with five rebounds and two steals.
Facing an NLEX team desperate to snap a losing streak, the Tropang Giga will need to stay sharp on both ends of the floor to keep their momentum alive.
