With the PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup Finals knotted at 2-2, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and the rest of TNT are determined to bounce back when they face Brgy. Ginebra in a crucial Game 5 on Sunday, March 23.
Tipoff is at 7:30 p.m. at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Cubao.
The Tropang Giga are coming off a 95-78 blowout loss in Game 4, the biggest winning margin of the series so far.
TNT just could not do anything to stop the Gin Kings' 17-2 surge within the final seven minutes to surrender the victory.
Hollis-Jefferson, who secured his third straight Best Import award before the game, was held to just 14 points (5-for-18 clip), 12 rebounds, five assists and one block—a rare off night for the former Brooklyn Net.

With the championship battle now down to a best-of-three, TNT will need RHJ at his best to lead the charge as they look to regain the upper hand.
Will the Tropang Giga reclaim momentum or will Ginebra inch closer to another title?
