TNT, behind the always-reliable Kelly Williams, kept their foes within reach in the dying moments by drilling a triple. But the gap generated by Ahanmisi’s freebies in the final 35 seconds proved to be just too much for TNT. “We're just lucky that they missed the shot at the end,” Painters head coach Caloy Garcia said. Rain or Shine faces Blackwater Elite — who were dealt with a loss earlier that night — on Friday next week. TNT 79 — Castro 18, Pogoy 16, Semerad 13, Williams 11, Rosario 8, Reyes 7, Torres 4, Tautuaa 2, Carey 0, Nuyles 0, Tallo 0.
