TNT coach Chot Reyes says Brandon Ganuelas-Rosser continues to be a work in progress as far as keeping his emotions in check during the game.
Ganuelas-Rosser had 14 points and six rebounds in the Tropang 5G's 97-89 loss to Meralco in Game 3 of the PBA 50th Season Philippine Cup semifinals, but the big man figured in a few skirmishes during the contest.

The first one involved Cliff Hodge, as the Bolts' big man took exception to getting hit by BGR's elbow during the second quarter while the two battled for a rebound. The former had to be restrained by his teammates after the incident, as the latter was hit with a flagrant foul.
The second incident was late in the game when Ganuelas-Rosser was called for another technical foul after another battle for a board, this time with Jansen Rios.
Extra work for TNT, BGR
Reyes acknowledged that TNT has had to manage BGR's intensity in-game, while also adding that the Fil-Am forward has already improved.
“That’s Brandon,” said Reyes. “He’s a work in progress. We are trying to make sure that he keeps his emotions in check.”
Ganuelas-Rosser is one of the key players for the Tropang 5G this conference, so his staying on the court is important for their chances of winning as many games as they can.
“I think he has improved but still a long way to go,” said Reyes.
