TNT Tropang 5G survived a late surge by Barangay Ginebra San Miguel Kings for a 101-94 victory in Game 2 of the PBA Season 50 Commissioner’s Cup Finals on Friday night at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Leading by as many as 21 points in the third quarter, the Tropang 5G saw their lead trimmed to as low as 94-98. The Gin Kings had a chance to come even closer but John Abis mishandled the ball.

Calvin Oftana then widened the lead to 100-94 with two free throws before reinforcement Chris McCullough added another freebie to seal the victory for the Tropang 5G.

Oftana finished with a double-double of 31 points and 10 rebounds to be named Player of the Game as the defending champions Tropang 5G tied the best-of-seven series at 1-1.

McCullough and Jordan Heading added 19 and 14 markers, respectively, while Roger Pogoy, Rey Nambatac, and Brandon Ganuelas-Rosser contributed 10 apiece for TNT.

The Tropang 5G dictated the tempo early as they surged to a 7-0 start en route to establishing a 27-12 lead after the opening quarter. The lead swelled to 48-33 at the half with their outside conversions.

TNT continued their rampage as they build their largest lead at 21 points on a basket by McCullough, but the Gin Kings leaned on their bench mob to trim the deficit to as low as four points.

Justin Brownlee finished with a double-double of 24 points and 15 rebounds, Rhon Jay Abarrientos added 21 markers, while Jeremiah Gray and George Isaac Go ended with 13 and 10, respectively, for the Gin Kings.
