Rain or Shine has no intentions of slowing down after winning five consecutive games in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup.
The Rain or Shine Elasto Painters look to extend their hot streak in the PBA Commissioner's Cup as they face the Phoenix Fuel Masters on Saturday, Jan. 11, at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.
Match is set at 7:30 p.m.
Rain or Shine (5-1) is one of the league’s most in-form teams, riding a five-game winning streak that includes an emphatic 122-106 victory over Blackwater last Wednesday, Jan. 8.
The Elasto Painters, apparently, were fueled by a desire for redemption after a crushing 118-139 loss to Blackwater in last year’s Governors’ Cup, a game where they got burned for 64 points by import George King.

Led by the dynamic Adrian Nocum and a youthful supporting cast, Rain or Shine has displayed an up-tempo, high-energy style that has overwhelmed opponents in the Commissioner's Cup.
And against a Phoenix team struggling at 2-5, the Elasto Painters are keen to maintain their dominance and further cement their place as one of the top teams this conference.
