Magnolia is desperate to get back to the win column in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup.
The Magnolia Hotshots aim to bounce back and regain momentum as they face the winless Terrafirma Dyip in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup on Friday, Jan. 10 at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.
Match starts at 5pm.
Sitting at 2-5, Magnolia is still reeling from a heartbreaking 95-92 loss to Barangay Ginebra San Miguel on Christmas Day, where Scottie Thompson's game-winning triple dashed their hopes.
This came after what seemed to be a promising turnaround with their 99-95 win over NLEX last December 20.
Mark Barroca has been the steady force for the Hotshots, delivering consistent performances on both ends of the court.
Against Terrafirma, Magnolia needs contributions across the roster to avoid being the Dyip's first victim of the tournament.
With both teams desperate to turn their fortunes around, the Hotshots must bring their A-game to improve their chances of being in the playoff hunt.
