Kim Aurin leads TNT to overtime win over San Miguel in PBA Governors’ Cup

Kim Aurin delivered a career‑high performance for TNT Tropang 5G, scoring 22 points and pulling down eight rebounds as the team edged San Miguel Beermen 93‑89 in overtime at the Mall of Asia Arena. The victory, TNT’s third in the Governors’ Cup group stage, came despite Aurin battling a flu‑like illness, which he said he overcame after a phone call with teammate Roger Pogoy and a reminder of an Isaiah 40:31 Bible verse.

Coach Chot Reyes praised Aurin’s mindset, noting the reserves stepped up when the team’s usual stars were absent. Aurin’s clutch three‑pointers in the extra period turned a 85‑83 deficit into a lead, and he sealed the win with an offensive rebound and a feed to Rahlir Hollis‑Jefferson for the final insurance basket.
