DINAYA ANG TNT! SMB ISA NA LANG | JP Erram Sinampal si Jericho Cruz | Nambatac Hinamon si Ross

Game 5 of the PBA Finals saw TNT Tropang Giga start strong behind red-hot three-point shooting from Calvin Oftana, Rey Nambatac, and Kelly Williams, even converting tough and contested shots in the opening quarter. However, as the game progressed, their heavy reliance on perimeter attempts backfired once the shots stopped falling, leading to missed opportunities and disrupted momentum. San Miguel Beer stayed composed, leaned on hustle plays from Rodney Brondial, timely shot-making from Kris Rosales, and eventually regained control by halftime despite limited minutes from Junmar Fajardo early on. In the third quarter, TNT’s frustration boiled over with unnecessary fouls, technicals, and emotional reactions—particularly from Poy Erram—which hurt their rhythm more than any officiating decision. While one loose-ball foul on Nambatac was questionable, it did not define TNT’s collapse, especially with calls also going their way, including a successful coach’s challenge. SMB’s switch to a disciplined zone defense shut down TNT’s shooters, Rosales continued to make smart plays, and San Miguel pulled away to secure the win, taking a 3–2 series lead with momentum firmly on their side. ═══════════════════════ This video is edited under by Fair Use Law of YouTube.
