The TNT Tropang Giga zoomed their way to the finals by overwhelming opponents with offensive firepower coming from all fronts and tenacious defensive pressure that transformed passing lanes into impenetrable fortresses.
The 6-foot-6 Rosario undoubtedly ranks among the league’s top power forwards, alongside Jason Perkins of the Phoenix Fuel Masters and Vic Manuel of Alaska. A many-time member of Gilas Pilipinas, Rosario is not only a bullstrong force in the low block, but is also a versatile scorer who can snipe from beyond the arc. Small wonder that his game has often been likened to TNT assistant coach Ranidel de Ocampo, one of the finest stretch fours in the history of Philippine basketball.
TNT utilized the three-point shot as a major part of its arsenal as the team led the league in attempts with over 39 a game. Rosario himself stroked 5 tries from three every game. He and JP Erram provided the inside muscle for the Tropang Giga as they each normed over 8 rebounds per outing.Although his rebounding numbers have remained solid as he has been grabbing 7 boards per game since the quarterfinals – only a slight dip from his average of 8.
In TNT’s deciding win against the Fuel Masters which earned for the Tropang Giga a slot in the finals, Rosario scored 4 points after making just a solitary basket out of 8 attempts from the field. In the process, Rosario has seen a reduction in his playing time as he has been seeing action for just 23.3 minutes in their last 3 games.
