MIKEY WILLIAMS was blazing and scoring anew to lead TNT Tropang Giga to a 105-93 victory over Magnolia in Game 2 of the best-of-seven finals of Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Philippine Cup on Friday at the Don Honorio Ventura State University gym in Bacolor, Pampanga.

JP Erram was the center of TNT’s defensive frontline who collected 12 rebounds and swatted four enemy attempts on top of six points.
