THOMAS Robinson played down the spat between him and some NorthPort officials during their game on Wednesday in the 2023-24 PBA Commissioner’s Cup.
WATCH:
Robinson said the incident was part of their competitive nature that spilled over to the tunnel as the two teams headed to the dugouts at the Smart-Araneta Coliseum.
“Just upset. They lost. We won,” said Robinson.
Robinson got into a heated shouting incident with NorthPort team governor Erick Arejola and team manager Pido Jarencio following NLEX’s 112-104 win at the Smart-Araneta Coliseum.
But even in the second quarter, Robinson already got into a verbal exchange with Arejola and Jarencio after he was also hit with a technical foul for using profane language after a dust-up with NorthPort’s JM Calma.
“Just competing. He is competing. I’m competing,” said Robinson.
