The two teams meet at 6 pm on Sunday, December 6, 2020 at the Cultural and Sports Center of the University of Angeles Foundation with Smart 5G technology. Tropang Giga hopes to continue their 88-67 Game 3 victory over Geneva. Geneva holds a 2-1 lead over TNT even after losing Game 3 on Friday, December 4. A win on Sunday propels the Gin Kings to a dominant 3-1 lead. TNT relied on their defense and 3-pointers for victory last Friday. Geneva was limited to just 67 points in Game 3 after averaging 96 points in Games 1 and 2. Geneva scorer Stanley Pringle had the biggest drop. He had just 11 points in Game 3 and averaged 29 scores in Games 1 and 2. TNT’s Simon Enciso followed Pringle throughout the game. And when Enciso was rejected by the screens, a teammate was quick to pick up Pringle if he dribbled the ball or shut down if he shot. Tropang Giga also forced Geneva to commit 23 turnovers that turned into 17 points. Finally, the shots from the outside contributed greatly to TNT’s victory. Tropang Giga scored 39 points (making 13 of 43 3-point attempts) from 3-pointers compared to 18 points (6 of 18) for Geneva. Apart from Enciso, Jayson Castro and Troy Rosario also took a big step for Tropang Giga. Rosario, who scored most of his points from inside the paint, was named Player of the Game after finishing with 15 points, 3 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1 steal. Geneva hopes to replicate their success in Games 1 and 2 where they beat TNT in two exciting games. Pringle, as well as Tenorio, Japeth Aguilar, Scottie Thompson and Aljon Mariano, must once again take a step forward for Geneva to prevail. In Game 3, Tenorio scored on a layup to cut TNT’s lead to just 2 points, 56-54, with 2:52 left in the third period. But TNT’s Castro, Jay Washington and Ryan Reyes each drilled a 3-pointer to propel TNT to a 10-point lead, 66-56 after three quarters. Tropang Giga increased that 10-point lead in the fourth to win by walking away.
