Brandon played a hell of the game, but it was our bench. For them to come out big, that was huge for us.&quot;&quot;It was a collective effort,&quot; added Ganuelas-Rosser. &quot;It was toughness. We were challenged in the last game, and I took that personally.&quot;A tied ball game in the third canto at 67-all, the Tropang 5G slowly pulled away via a 9-to-nothing charge which was ended by a Kim Aurin deuce at the 2:09 mark for a 76-67 advantage, and eventually an 80-69 lead at the end of the frame.Unfortunately for the ElastoPainters, their woes would extend into the fourth period as their deficit grew to as much as 19, 97-78, with over seven minutes left in the game following a basket by Oftana.Andrei Caracut then hit a three-pointer while Adrian Nocum and Andrei Caracut scored four straight to cut their disadvantage to 12, 97-85, with still 4:14 left on the clock to bring some life back into RoS.However, Glenn Khobuntin answered with a triple, while Poy Erram brought the Tropang 5G’s lead back to 17, 102-85 after his basket with only three minutes and 20 remaining.Gabe Norwood led the E-Painters in scoring with 18 points and nine rebounds, while Caracut, Caelan Tiongson, and Nocum scored 16, 15, and 12, respectively.TNT will look to close the series in Game 5 on Friday, June 4, 5:00 p.m., at the Araneta Coliseum in Cubao, Quezon City.<div> </div><div>The Scores:</div>TNT 108 – Heading 23, Ganuelas-Rosser 22, Oftana 16, Khobuntin 16, Galinato 8, Erram 8, Aurin 7, Vosotros 6, Heruela 2, Nieto 0, Enciso 0, Williams 0.Rain or Shine 92 – Norwood 18, Caracut 16, Tiongson 15, Nocum 12, Santillan 9, Datu 7, Mamuyac 7, Clarito 4, Malonzo 2, Asistio 2.Quarterscores: 22-28, 41-47, 80-69, 108-92.<div><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ez3tGp9zybk?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe> </div>
