No import, no problemResilience is something Rain or Shine coach Yeng Guiao should be proud of citing as a trait of the Elasto Painters. There’s no other way to explain how ROS battled TNT without import Jaylen Johnson, time down to 6:20, and won, 112-109, in the PBA Commissioner’s Cup at the Smart Araneta Coliseum last week. Without Johnson, ROS stood its ground against the Bolts whose 7-foot import Marvin Jones was held scoreless in the second half after scoring 17 in the first. By the way, ROS has gotten off to a hot start even with Stanley Pringle and Keith Datu sidelined. Johnson will be back in harness to face Bossing import Robert Upshaw.
