After a dismal 3-7 campaign the previous conference, the NorthPort Batang Pier are out to stamp their class in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup.
NorthPort began its PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup campaign with a 114-87 win over NLEX at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium in Malate on Thursday, Nov. 28.
The Batang Pier are coming off a dismal 3-7 campaign in the season-opening Governors’ Cup.
Arvin Tolentino led the way with 29 points on his 10-for-17 scoring clip to allow them to join opening day winners Converge and guest team Eastern.
NorthPort will next face Terrafirma, which, for its part, will try to bounce back after succumbing to the FiberXers, on Saturday, Nov. 30, at the same venue.
After losing Christian Standhardinger to retirement, the Dyip are hopeful they can field in newly acquired Terrence Romeo and Vic Manuel against the Batang Pier.
