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.
