TNT Tropang Giga snap two-game slide with convincing win over Meralco Bolts

The TNT Tropang Giga got back on track in the 2020 PBA Philippine Cup, toppling the Meralco Bolts, 92-79, Saturday at the Angeles University Foundation Sports Arena.

Fresh from a disheartening loss at the hands of Barangay Ginebra San Miguel the previous night, the Tropang Giga came back with a vengeance against the Bolts. They controlled the game right from the get-go and built a 16-point lead early in the fourth period. And despite Jayson Castro fouling out in the final four minutes, TNT was able to hold on.

Roger Pogoy, who struggled mightily against Ginebra, bounced back in a big way to score 27 points and eight rebounds to lead TNT. After a 4-for-15 performance the previous outing, he shot better at 12-for-24 shooting.

After losing back-to-back games, TNT's win improved its record to 7-3. On the other hand, the Bolts failed to make it three wins in a row to hold a 5-4 record.
