TNT is looking to bounce back from a close loss in which Bobby Ray Parks’ 41-point effort was wasted. Parks tied a franchise record of 10 3s in the second game before fouling.
Robinson said he is suspicious of Parks’ game and that it will take a collective effort on the defensive end to contain the TNT star.
“One important aspect is making sure everyone is involved in our defense of Ray Parks. It is the responsibility of only one, but of the rest. “Yun ang important sa amin, going into Game Three and the rest of the series,” said Robinson.
Robinson also hopes other TNT players will step up, including Jayson Castro, who was limited to just nine points in Friday’s game.
