MANILA—The TNT KaTropa scored their first win in the 2019 PBA Philippine Cup after three tries, prevailing against the NLEX Road Warriors, 85-80, on Wednesday night at the Big Dome.
The KaTropa opened a huge 14-point lead in the fourth quarter only to quickly lose it when Poy Erram shot back-to-back buckets that downsized the lead to 2, 79-77.
However, Roger Pogoy and Jason Castro managed to save the show for them at the very last minute to claim their first victory.
