Blackwater is looking to ignite hopes of a playoff berth in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup.
The Blackwater Bossing will look to turn their fortunes around as they face the surging Rain or Shine Elasto Painters in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup on Wednesday, Jan. 8, at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig.
Match kicks off at 5:00 p.m.
Blackwater (1-5) has struggled to maintain momentum since its breakthrough 114-98 victory over Meralco last December 12.
Subsequent losses to San Miguel and TNT have left the Bossing at the bottom of the standings, but they remain determined to pull off an upset.
Import George King and rookie standout Sedrick Barefield must step up to challenge Rain or Shine’s stingy defense and high-paced offense.
Consistency from the local cast will also be crucial for the Bossing as they aim to disrupt the Elasto Painters’ four-game winning streak.
Rain or Shine (4-1) has been in top form, but Blackwater hopes to exploit any post-holiday rust in a bid to climb the standings.
