The Rain or Shine Elasto Painters look to find answers fast against TNT in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner's Cup semifinals.
After falling just short in a tough 88-84 loss in Game 1, the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters aim to even the series against the TNT Tropang Giga in Game 2 of their best-of-seven PBA Commissioner’s Cup semifinals Friday at the PhilSports Arena.
Import Deon Thompson led all scorers with 29 points, while Adrian Nocum chipped in 18 as Rain or Shine kept pace with TNT for most of the game.
However, the lack of scoring support from the rest of the team and 21 costly turnovers ultimately doomed their upset bid.
To steal Game 2, coach Yeng Guiao’s squad must tighten its execution and get more contributions from the supporting cast.
With TNT looking to take a commanding 2-0 lead, the Elasto Painters need to respond with the same grit and fight that has defined their playoff run.
Tip off is set for 7:30 p.m.
