In an awesome display of pure grit and just "wanting it more" than their opponents, the Talk N Text Tropang Texters broke away from the San Miguel Beermen in the pivotal third quarter after being tied at 57-all to win the game 92-85 and the series 4-2.
While I've never been a fan of TNT, the minute they gutted the now disbanded Santa Lucia Realtors' roster and added its National Team shoo-ins Kelly Williams and Ryan Reyes, everyone knew that it was just a matter of time before they win another crown (only their 3rd this decade which is quite befuddling to say the least). Trading hotshot scorer Mac Cardona to sister team Meralco also seemed to pay dividends for the franchise, allowing them to speed things up with more ball-handlers than ball-stoppers (people who need 5-10 seconds of the shot clock to create in every possession).In the four games that they have won, TNT simply outmatched and outclassed SMB in every aspect of the game. The two losses they suffered really looked more like games they lost rather than SMB won or fought hard for (specially game 3).
