Don Trollano made a timely return to action, sparking the San Miguel Beermen to a crucial victory over the Meralco Bolts that keeps their playoff hopes alive in the PBA.
Trollano, who had been sidelined due to injury, came off the bench and provided an immediate spark, scoring key baskets and energizing his teammates. His presence on both ends of the floor was felt as San Miguel snapped a losing skid with a hard-fought win.
The Beermen, who have been struggling for consistency, needed this win to stay in contention for a playoff spot. With Trollano back in the rotation, they showed renewed vigor and chemistry, particularly on the defensive end where they limited Meralco's scoring opportunities.
"It feels great to be back out there with my teammates. We knew this was a must-win game, and we just focused on executing our game plan," Trollano said after the game.
San Miguel head coach Jorge Gallent praised Trollano's impact, noting that his leadership and energy were exactly what the team needed. "Don is a veteran who knows how to step up in big moments. His return gives us a boost on both ends," Gallent said.
The win moves San Miguel closer to securing a playoff berth, but they still have work to do. The Beermen will look to build on this momentum in their next game.
