Box Scores.
The Meralco Bolts made it two wins in a row over their top-seeded sister team TNT after a 119-113 victory in Game Three of the Oppo PBA Governors’ Cup semifinals on Saturday at the SMART-Araneta Coliseum.
Meralco has already beaten TNT twice in the series, no easy feat considering the KaTropa only lost once in 11 elimination round games this conference.
Import Allen Durham had 23 points, 13 rebounds and five assists in this one while getting plenty of support from Reynel Hugnatan, who scored 21 points built around an impressive 5-for-6 shooting clip from beyond the arc.
Hugnatan also scored eight consecutive points in a crucial stretch in the fourth quarter that proved pivotal for the Bolts.
Jimmy Alapag added 17 points and hit three three-pointers to move even closer to Allan Caidic’s all-time record of 1,242 career triples. Alapag is two away from tying the mark, with 1,240.
TNT star Jayson Castro led all scorers with 28 points.
