Excellent officiating,” he added.</p><p>Throughout the match, Reyes repeatedly voiced his displeasure with the officials over calls and non-calls that went against TNT, even kneeling on the hardwood at one point before being assessed a technical foul.</p><p>TNT was whistled for 25 personal fouls compared to Ginebra’s 19, with Chris McCullough, Rey Nambatac, and Brandon Ganuelas-Rosser each finishing one foul shy of disqualification.</p><p>The Gin Kings also went 21-of-23 from the free-throw line, while the Tropang 5G converted 11 of their 13 attempts.</p><p>For context, Ginebra attempted significantly more shots inside the arc than from beyond it, going 28-of-55 on two-pointers and 9-of-19 on three-pointers.
