TNT Tropang Giga will hope to continue their good scoring form as their blockbuster semi-final clash against Phoenix Super LPG Fuel Masters in the 2020 PBA Philippine Cup gets underway on Wednesday. TNT got the better of Alaska Aces 104-83 in the quarterfinals, while Phoenix edged past Magnolia Hotshots 89-88 to book a place in the semis. This best-of-five series promises to be enterprising and exciting not the least because of the rivalry between the two super stars Calvin Abueva and Ray Parks Jr.

TNT finished the regular season third in the points tally with a win-loss record of 7-4. That included a 110-91 win over Phoenix and they will look to continue that winning momentum. The presence of RR Pogoy and Ray Parks Jr. gives them confidence of starting this best-of-five series on a positive note. It’s interesting to note that TNT outrebounded Phoenix 61-46 in their meeting earlier in the competition with JP Erram contributing 15 rebounds.

Phoenix edged out the Magnolia Hotshots on Saturday night with Matthew Wright drilling the game-winning three-pointer with just 9.3 seconds left on the clock. He finished with 32 points and nine assists and Wright will once again be vital for Phoenix chances. He did score 31 points when these sides met earlier in the competition, but Calvin Abueva wasn’t playing that match which pulled Phoenix down. Abueva will be expected to shadow Ray Parks Jr. and will add extra power to the offensive charm of the side.
