Troy Rosario hopes to lead TNT against Alaska on Friday.

The KaTropa once again stake their perfect record while boosting their chances of securing a twice-to-beat advantage in the 7 p.m. match with an Aces side that finally ended a winless spell under new coach Jeffrey Cariaso.

TNT escaped with a 116-113 win over Meralco last Saturday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in a game that saw coach Bong Ravena and consultant Mark Dickel’s squad overhaul an early 19-point deficit.

Import KJ McDaniels’ 51 points proved to be crucial in the game that closely threatened TNT’s status as the league’s only unbeaten team.

“Buti na lang nandyan siya palagi,” said Ravena after Saturday’s match with the Bolts.

TNT previously escaped past NorthPort, 103-100, overcame Columbian 125-120 and edged Phoenix Pulse 123-118.

PBA Press Corps co-Player of the Week Troy Rosario, Jayson Castro, Roger Pogoy and Don Trollano try to see if TNT can make things comfortable this time against Alaska.

The Aces ended a 0-5 start Sunday when
