In Friday’s PBA Governors’ Cup victory over Magnolia Chicken Timplados for TNT, Roger Pogoy extended his offensive hot run.

Pogoy led the Tropang GIGA to a 93-85 victory over the Hotshots with 20 points on 8 of 16 field goal attempts. He has now tallied 20 points or more in each of the team’s last four games, three of which it has won.

Pogoy was quick to claim the glory for his offensive explosion for himself.

Jojo Lastimosa, head coach, politely disagreed, stating that Pogoy’s offensive output was in no way accidental.

Pogoy has always been modest, according to Lastimosa. They have been playing with him since they were classmates at FEU. Lastimosa also said that Pogoy is grateful for what he has now because it is the result of his hard work.

After Friday’s game, Pogoy has now shot a scorching 33 of 60 times from the field, or 55 percent. This featured a 9-of-11 performance in TNT’s opening matchup with Phoenix Super LPG.

His performance against Rain or Shine in TNT’s second game was mirrored by his 8 of 16 shooting on Friday.
