The win sets the stage for Game Six – the final game in the Big Dome before the conference – where the Tropang Giga will look to close out the series in what could be another big crowd Friday night.

If TNT can’t get the job done, Game Seven will be held at the Ynares Center on Sunday, which could be another record-breaking night in Antipolo City.

Game One was played at the Ynares Center, where the draw was 11,021, the most attended PBA match at the venue.
