TNT def Brgy. Ginebra, 87-83 [Finals Game 6 | PBA S49 Comm’s Cup | Mar. 26, 2025]

Will TNT emerge stronger from the Chot Reyes-Poy Erram altercation?

TNT import Rondae Hollis-Jefferson has made it clear: the Tropang Giga are ready to “fight like hell” as they battle to extend their championship hopes and force a decisive Game 7.

On the other side of the court, the Barangay Ginebra Kings are equally resolute, aiming for the kill in Game 6 of the PBA Commissioner’s Cup best-of-seven finals this Wednesday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

A victory in this pivotal matchup, set for 7:30 p.m., would not only symbolize redemption for Ginebra after suffering back-to-back finals defeats to the Tropang Giga but also signify a triumphant return to the pinnacle of PBA hoops following their 2023 Commissioner’s Cup title win over the Bay Area Dragons.

Yet, the Tropang Giga are poised for a fierce comeback, eager to level the series at 3-3, setting the stage for an exhilarating Game 7 showdown on Friday.

Ginebra clinched the last encounter, riding the late-game heroics of Justin Brownlee and Scottie Thompson to secure a hard-fought 73-66 victory, which also gave them a virtual twice-to-beat edge.

However, TNT faced a second consecutive setback, compounded by a heated exchange during a timeout in the third quarter that highlighted tensions within the squad.

Nonetheless, the Tropang Giga are focused on translating this turmoil into a positive response on the court.

But for the Kings, there’s no room for second-guessing at this stage; they’re determined to keep their momentum rolling and close out the series.
