TNT vs. Rain or Shine (Game 5) // PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup Semifinals

With one foot in the Finals, the TNT Tropang Giga look to close out their semifinal series against the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters in Game 5 of the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup, set for Friday, July 5 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

TNT currently leads the best-of-seven series 3-1 after a dominant 108-92 win in Game 4, fueled by a breakout performance from Jordan Heading, who tallied 23 points and 6 assists, and a double-double from Brandon Ganuelas-Rosser with 22 points and 11 rebounds.

TNT will be facing Rain or Shine in Game 5 without several key figures, both on the court and on the sidelines.

Already playing without veterans RR Pogoy, Jayson Castro, Rey Nambatac, and more recently Kelly Williams, the Tropang Giga continue to lean on their depth and resilience. In Game 4, it was the trio of Glenn Khobuntin, Henry Galinato Jr., and Brian Heruela who stepped up in a big way—anchoring a critical third-quarter run that helped shift the momentum and seal a convincing win.

But they’ll now have to press forward without head coach Chot Reyes, who will serve a one-game suspension in Game 5 after accumulating five technical fouls during the conference.

The league’s disciplinary action was confirmed by PBA Commissioner Willie Marcial to SPIN.ph, citing the rulebook provision that enforces an automatic suspension once the technical foul threshold is met.

Meanwhile, Rain or Shine enters Game 5 with its season on the line. After an inspired Game 3 win, the Elasto Painters struggled with consistency in Game 4—shooting just 32% from the field and falling behind in the rebounding battle. Veterans like Gabe Norwood and Andrei Caracut will need to lead the charge again if Yeng Guiao’s squad hopes to extend the series.

The pressure is on Rain or Shine to force a Game 6, while TNT is determined to seal the deal and move one step closer to a historic Grand Slam run—something the league hasn’t seen in over a decade.

Game 5 promises intensity, adjustments, and desperation on both ends of the court as one team fights for survival and the other reaches for glory.
