With every one of his key players back in uniform, TNT coach Nash Racela hopes his team can score more wins to make a run at the top seed.

TNT battles GlobalPort in the PBA Governors' Cup at Ynares Center in Antipolo looking for win No. 7 and a third consecutive victory.

Game time is at 7 p.m., after the 4:15 p.m. tussle between Blackwater and winless Kia.

With Troy Rosario joining fellow Gilas Pilipinas players Jayson Castro and Roger Pogoy back with the KaTropa, Racela and crew are feeling good about themselves.

Blackwater felt TNT's full might in their last game, when the KaTropa came away with a 117-96 rout.

Globalport is fresh off a close defeat to San Miguel, Terrence Romeo's first game back after playing in the FIBA Asia Cup.

He came off the bench to score a team-high 26 points, but couldn't stop GlobalPort from falling to 2-3.

Against TNT, Romeo faces Gilas backcourt mate Castro after their stint in the FIBA tournament in Beirut, Lebanon last month.

In the first game, Blackwater (3-4) aims to bounce back from the lopsided defeat it suffered at TNT's hands when the Elite take on last-place Kia (0-7).
