MANILA<\/strong> \u2014 Rain or Shine sure knows how to beat TNT.<\/p>\n

The seventh-seeded Elasto Painters stunned the second-seeded KaTropa, 106-102, in the quarterfinals of the PBA Governors’ Cup at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Rain or Shine limited TNT to only 19 points in the second quarter, and opened an 84-75 lead entering the fourth.<\/p>\n

The KaTropa still tried to put up a fight late in the final chapter, drawing to within three points, 102-105, with 30 seconds left.<\/p>\n

But Gabe Norwood sealed the win with a free throw, with 18 seconds left as the KaTropa could not buy a basket in the end.<\/p>\n

J’Nathan Bullock made seven triples en route to a 31-point performance with 15 rebounds, three assists, and one block for Rain or Shine, which canceled TNT’s twice-to-beat advantage and forced one more showdown on Friday night at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.<\/p>\n

Norwood also found himself hot from 22 feet out, dropping four treys of his own for 15 points with nine caroms, six dimes, two steals, and one block.<\/p>\n

Kelly Williams had a double-double of 23 points and 10 rebounds with two assists and a steal for TNT.<\/p>\n

Glen Rice Jr. struggled from the three-point arc, only making one of 12 from that distance and only came up with 19 markers.<\/p>\n
