The Meralco Bolts look to bounce back from PBA and EASL losses, seeing action on Christmas in the Commissioner's Cup.
The Meralco Bolts seek to bounce back from a tough stretch as they face the surging Converge FiberXers in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup on December 25 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Game time is set for 5:00 p.m. from the Big Dome.
Meralco, holding a 3-1 record in the Commissioner’s Cup, is coming off a 114-98 setback to Blackwater and a heartbreaking East Asia Super League loss to KBL champion Busan.
In Korea, the Bolts squandered a late double-digit lead, adding to their recent struggles. Despite the stumbles, Meralco remains a formidable squad and aims to return to winning ways.
An intriguing subplot is the team’s import situation. Akil Mitchell, who recently rejoined the Bolts in the EASL game, is expected to take over for DJ Kennedy in the PBA.
Meralco faces a tough challenge in the FiberXers, who are 5-2 and riding a three-game winning streak.
This Christmas Day clash promises high-stakes basketball as Meralco looks to end Converge’s streak and regain momentum.
