The teams will face off Sunday at Smart Araneta Coliseum, with TNT looking to secure first place in Group A with a win that would set it up for the double-elimination final stretch. The race will kick off at 5pm, kicking off the penultimate day of the heats.
While TNT’s 7-2 record ensured it would stay atop Group A, as the defending champions, they were hoping for a quick turnaround with this win, especially after a surprise 84-72 defeat by the previously winless Terrafirma in their last game. TNT will need to bounce back quickly for the upcoming quarter-finals, where they will face the fourth-placed team in Group B in the crosssectional.
