TNT super import Rondae Hollis-Jefferson filled up the stat sheet for the undermanned Tropang Giga as they gutted out a tight 101-95 win against the NorthPort Batang Pier in Group A action. With TNT threatening to pull away with a 99-91 lead off a two-handed slam by Hollis-Jefferson with 32.6 seconds left, Arvin Tolentino countered with a booming four-point shot to cut the lead to just a single possession, 99-95, with 24.6 seconds remaining.
Tolentino, a member of the PBA’s Season 48 First Mythical Team, contributed 23 points and 8 rebounds for NorthPort in the loss. Caelan Tiongson, the seventh pick in the recent PBA Draft, backed up Fuller with 15 points on 5-of-10 shooting, while Leonard Santillian and another Rain or Shine rookie Felix Lemetti added 12 and 11 markers, respectively, on a combined 7-of-11 three-pointers.
The Filipino-American guard Barefield led the Bossing in the scoring column with 18 points, but shot just 8-of-20 from the field.
