The Tropang Giga, meawhile, swept all their three games in Pool A, beating Platinum Karaoke, 21-20, Master Sardines, 22-18, and Terrafirma.
TNT became the first team to advance to the knockout stage.
Leg 2 winner San Miguel is just behind the Tropang Giga at 2-1 as it shook off an early setback in its bid for a back-to-back leg championship.
