With the victory, Rain or Shine notched its second win in the series, but TNT still leads the semis, 3-2. The Elasto Painters also maximized the absence of Reyes who was suspended after incurring his fifth technical foul in the conference last Wednesday. After leading 56-52 by the end of the first half, TNT pulled away in the third period, by erupting for 37 points and limiting the Tropang 5G to just 12 points. Andrei Caracut and Keith Datu led the Elasto Painters in their third quarter romp with 7 points apiece, while only four players scored for TNT in the said frame, six points coming from Simon Enciso. TNT tried to catch up in the fourth period but it was too late for the Tropang 5G. —JKC, GMA Integrated News
