ANTIPOLO CITY—Cliff Hodge shook off a scary scene during a crucial moment in Meralco's hard-fought Game 2 win over TNT on Sunday and earned himself a nickname from coach Norman Black right off the shoot. 'He's a bionic man,' Black said after Hodge played a pivotal role after the back of his head hit the floor in the final seconds of regulation to give the Bolts a 124-117 overtime victory over the TNT Tropang Giga that tied their PBA Governors' Cup semifinal series at 1-1. Hodge scored the first four points of the extra session, then concentrated on the defensive end, particularly guarding TNT import Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, as Meralco emerged victorious after being dealt with a 110-80 loss in the opener.
