PBA Philippine Cup. June 29, 2025. Anton Asistio of the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters against the TNT Tropang 5G. (Photo: PBA Media) Anton Asistio atoned for a low output in the first half, catching fire from downtown to power Rain or Shine to a dominant 107-86 win against TNTin Game 3 of the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup on Sunday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. The Elasto Painters did everything right while also capitalizing on the absence of RR Pogoy as they finally struck a win in the series with the Tropang 5G still in the lead at 2-1. Asistio, who only had three points in the first two quarters, went ballistic in the second half by unloading 14 points in the third quarter capped by a massive buzzer-beater four-point shot that helped the embattled Rain or Shine take a huge 84-57 lead heading to the payoff period. The TNT bench, though, tried to breathe some life back to the Tropang 5G with big man Henry Galinato and veteran guard Simon Enciso starring in a 7-0 run to slice the gap to 19, 74-93. But that was the closest TNT could get as Caelan Tiongson and Keith Datu each buried a three-pointer before Asistio punished TNT with the dagger four-pointer. Asistio finished with 24 points on an impressive 4-of-5 from three-point area to go with six assists and one rebound while Tiongson and Datu chipped in 16 and 13 markers apiece. Scores: Rain or Shine 107 – Asistio 24, Tiongson 16, Datu 13, Santillan 12, Nocum 10, Caracut 8, Norwood 6, Malonzo 6, Mamuyac 5, Porter 4, Clarito 3, Ildefonso 0, Escandor 0 TNT 86 – Oftana 16, Khobuntin 12, Enciso 12, Vosotros 9, Galinato 8, Williams 8, Heading 7, Aurin 4, Erram 4, Ganuelas-Rosser 2, Varfilla 0, Nieto 0, Ebona 0 Quarters: 33-15, 51-37, 84-57, 107-86. —JKC, GMA Integrated News
