However, they have lack in defensive players who can stop Japeth Aguilar inside the ring. Troy is also a good defensive player because of his wing span but he can't really dominate Japeth inside. Stanley Pringle is really unstoppable upon his drives, he can score whatever he wants because of his dribbling skills. No wonder, history repeat itself. GSM will win again the series.
What do you mean TNT is lacking defensive players?
In Game 2, BGSM's top players such as Thompson, Aguilar, and Tenorio only have 3, 6, and 5 points respectively even playing at 30+ minutes? And Pringle's 34 points was at 47% percentage (10/21 FG)?
There is no reason why TNT loses in Game 2. It was a close game and both teams showed their best.
It wasn't suppose to be a close game if TNT were able to keep their huge lead.
Now, they have to win this game so they still have a chance in the series, it looks like this is a close game, TNT is currently on the lead by 4 points only, but it's too early.
