After a controversial Game 1 finish, TNT and San Miguel brace for another grudge match in Game 2 of their best-of-seven PBA Philippine Cup finals

MANILA, Philippines – Expect an even more heated title series.

After a controversial Game 1 finish, TNT and San Miguel brace for another grudge match in Game 2 of the PBA Philippine Cup finals at the Araneta Coliseum on Wednesday, July 16.

The Grand Slam-seeking Tropang 5G drew first blood in the best-of-seven series after hacking out a 99-96 win in the series opener last Sunday, July 13, which was criticized due to the overruling of Mo Tautuaa’s go-ahead basket for the Beermen in the final minute of the contest. 

That late offensive interference call on Tautuaa’s dunk, which was only reversed with 6.2 seconds left, ultimately paved the way for TNT to escape with the win as San Miguel fell short of completing its gutsy comeback from as many as 24 points down. 

Following the controversial ending, expect a riled up San Miguel squad right from the get-go as the Beermen seek to bounce back and tie the series at 1-1.

Meanwhile, look for a sharper TNT side as it seeks to go up 2-0 and avoid another late-game meltdown.
