After a heartbreaking loss last time out, the Phoenix Fuel Masters try for their first win again in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner's Cup.
The Phoenix Fuel Masters (0-2) are determined to claim their first victory in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup as they take on the defending champion San Miguel Beermen on Tuesday.
Phoenix has had a tough start to the conference, highlighted by a heartbreaking loss to Meralco in its last outing.
Despite building a 23-point lead, the Fuel Masters fell short in the endgame. Import Donovan Smith was a bright spot with 33 points, while locals Kai Ballungay and Tyler Tio chipped in 18 and 17 points, respectively.
Facing San Miguel, which is making its conference debut, Phoenix must address its consistency issues to pull off an upset.
With Smith leading the charge and Ballungay and Tio providing local firepower, the Fuel Masters will look to replicate their strong start from the Meralco game and sustain it against the formidable Beermen.
Tip off is set for 7:30 p.m. from the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.
