The Blackwater Bossing face a formidable challenge against Barangay Ginebra in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner's Cup on Sunday, Jan. 12, at the Ynares Center in Antipolo.

Tip-off is at 5:00 p.m.

The Bossing (1-6) are on a three-game losing skid and find themselves in a must-win situation to keep their playoff hopes alive.

With Ginebra standing at 5-3, the task is daunting, but Blackwater has shown flashes of resilience throughout the tournament.

To pull off the upset, Blackwater will need standout performances from George King and Sedrick Barefield, while their supporting cast must step up against Ginebra's powerhouse lineup led by Justin Brownlee and Scottie Thompson.

A win against the Gin Kings could not only provide a morale boost, but also inject life into Blackwater's mid-season campaign as the Bossing fight to stay relevant in the Commissioner’s Cup.
