TNT may still be undermanned, but the Tropang Giga are expected to go all out for the win when they face the Chiba Jets in a rematch of their 2023-24 East Asia Super League home-and-away game on Wednesday, November 1 at the Sta. Rosa Sports Complex in Laguna.

Game time is 7 p.m.The Tropang Giga played with a watered-down roster during the EASL Season 2 opening night. While they managed to keep the game close during the first half, the lack of quality personnel took its toll on the team in the second half, which allowed Chiba to score a runaway 93-75 win at the Funabashi Arena in Japan on October 11.TNT played minus big men Poy Erram and Justin Chua, both recovering from separate knee injuries, while Roger Pogoy is still out due to myocarditis.

'Calvin will not solve our offensive problem but he will definitely help both sides of the ball,' Lastimosa told the Manila Times on the eve of the Tropang Giga's rematch versus the Jets, last season's Japan B.League runner-ups.Foremost in the minds of TNT is how the team could put the clamps on Chiba's outside shooters.Japanese national player Ren Kanichika was red-hot from downtown during their initial clash after firing 18 points, built around six triples.
