TNT coach Jojo Lastimosa, on the other hand, believes that his team needs to match the energy and effort of Meralco if they want to regain the series lead. The Tropang Giga suffered a tough loss in Game 2 despite the impressive performances of Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Mikey Williams, who combined for 56 points.
The Bolts’ Cliff Hodge, who was called the “Bionic Man” by Coach Black, proved his resilience in Game 2 after shaking off a hard fall late in regulation play. He ignited Meralco’s breakaway in extra time and helped his team secure the series-tying win.
