TNT dominates Kia after second half barrage

By Dugout Philippines

Talk 'n Text added more woes to Kia's struggles after hacking out an 85-62 rout in the nightcap of the PBA games at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.

The Tropang Texters used a huge second half to turn a close game at the half to a blowout.

Kelly Williams led four players for Talk 'n Text, which led by as much as 26 late in the game, with 13 points.

Karl Dehesa had a game-high 14 markers for Kia, which has yet to notch a win after its opening-day beating of Blackwater.
