TNT, Converge clash anew   

Avatar

TNT and NorthPort have been battling injuries in the PBA Governors’ Cup and have gotten contrasting results through their respective campaigns.

The two banged-up squads will have a chance at capturing a key victory that will have different implications as the second round of the import-laden showcase gets going on Sunday at Ninoy Aquino Stadium in Malate, Manila.

The Tropang Giga, who are currently pacing Pool A with a 4-1 win-loss mark, will have a chance to avenge their heartbreaking 96-95 loss to fellow telco club Converge when the two sides face off again at 7:30 p.m.

“I’ve played through pain my entire life, so strap ‘em up and let’s go,” said resident import Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, who has been playing through a bum ankle.

Game-winner

The FiberXers ran away with a win over the traditional powerhouse over a week ago thanks to reinforcement Scotty Hopson’s game-winning shot from the pioneering four-point line.

A win by TNT will extend its winning ways to three games and afford itself a chance to tighten its grip on Pool A, where sister team Meralco is in second place with an identical record.
