TNT hung on to overcome Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Jayson Castro's sudden exit and secure the Game 2 win over Rain or Shine in the PBA Comm's Cup semis.
TNT saw its stars Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Jayson Castro leave on separate occasions in the fourth quarter but that did not hinder it from getting the Game 2 win, 93-91, over Rain or Shine in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner's Cup semifinals Friday, Feb. 28.
Hollis-Jefferson incurred his sixth foul at 5:36 mark while Castro sustained an apparent knee injury with 3:07 to go, causing both to leave the floor.
But the Elasto Painters wasted all their opportunities in the last two minutes to gift the Tropang Giga a 2-0 lead in the series.
