As Game 3 wound down, one could notice TNT import Rondae Hollis-Jefferson still going hard at it, furiously fighting for possession and attacking Barangay Ginebra's net.

FOCUS FALLS ON DEFENSE

Game today (Smart Araneta Coliseum) 7:30 p.m. - Awarding of Best Import and Best Player of the Conference 7:35 p.m. - Barangay Ginebra vs TNT TNT leads best-of-seven series, 2-1

The All Saints' Day tussle was essentially beyond reach at that point and the Gin Kings were well on their way to cutting the Tropang Giga's lead in the PBA Governors' Cup finals to 2-1.

But Hollis-Jefferson got his message sent. It was received not only by his TNT teammates, who take a second crack at win No. 3 and move closer to a title repeat in tonight's Game 4 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, but also by the crowd darlings, who shoot for a 2-2 deadlock.

"We have to play better on Sunday because we're going to see a better TNT team," said veteran playmaker LA Tenorio, who helped set the tone for the Gin Kings in Friday's lifesaving 85-73 win when he was deployed as a starter for the first time in the finals.
