By MANILA, Philippines—TNT staved off a late Blackwater fightback, 99-94, in the PBA Commissioner’s Cup at Ynares Sports Center in Antipolo on Tuesday night.
The Tropang 5G spoiled Pat Aquino’s coaching debut for the Bossing, who tapped the former Gilas Pilipinas women’s team mentor after Jeff Cariaso’s exit.
“We had no illusions that this would be an easy game. We prepared for a hard game because I personally know the caliber of Pat Aquino,” coach Chot Reyes said after steering his team to a 4-2 record.
