After back-to-back losses, NLEX will do everything to return to the win column in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup.
The NLEX Road Warriors are determined to get back on track as they face the struggling Magnolia Hotshots in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup on Friday, Dec. 20, at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig City.
Tip-off is at 7:30 p.m.
Currently holding a 3-3 record, the Road Warriors are looking to snap a two-game losing streak after falling to the Converge FiberXers, 102-91.
NLEX has shown flashes of brilliance earlier in the conference, but recent setbacks have underscored the need for a more consistent performance.
Key to their success will be the dynamic tandem of import Mike Watkins and Robert Bolick.
Watkins, known for his double-double prowess, remains a strong presence inside the paint, while Bolick’s scoring and playmaking will be critical in orchestrating the offense.
Facing a Magnolia squad (1-4) also desperate for a win, NLEX will aim to capitalize on the Hotshots’ struggles and bounce back into the win column.
A victory could reignite their playoff aspirations and position them better in the tightly contested midseason tournament standings.
