Vengeful TNT wallops Terrafirma

TNT vented its ire on hapless Terrafirma, 121-90, to get back on the winning track in the Philippine Basketball Association Commissioner's Cup on Saturday night at the Ynares Center in Antipolo.

Guard Jay Alejandro played a perfect game, hitting all seven shots from the field and ending up with 17 points.

Alejandro's breakout performance gave the Tropang Giga a refreshing outlook in the closing stage of the elimination round as the team atoned from back-to-back losses and improved its record to 4-4.

His career-high output overshadowed his 12-point production last conference in a game against NorthPort.

Import Cameron Oliver finished with 26 points, 15 rebounds, five assists, a steal, and a block.

Four other players also ended up in double figures for TNT — Calvin Oftana (15), JP Erram (14), Jayson Castro (11), and Jaydee Tungcab (11).
