Magnolia is adopting a do-or-die mindset heading into its remaining games of the PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup.
The Magnolia Hotshots will look to build momentum when they face defending champion San Miguel Beermen in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner's Cup on Sunday, Jan. 12, at the Ynares Center in Antipolo.
Match is scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m.
Magnolia (3-5) enters the match with renewed confidence after securing a hard-fought 89-84 victory over Terrafirma last time out.
With only four games left in the elimination round, the Hotshots are adopting a do-or-die mindset as they aim to secure a spot in the playoffs.

Veteran leadership and the consistent play of import Ricardo Ratliffe will be pivotal as well as Magnolia takes on the reeling San Miguel squad.
The Hotshots must also find contributions from key locals, like Mark Barroca and Jerom Lastimosa, to overcome the Beermen’s depth.
A win against San Miguel (3-4) not only boosts Magnolia’s playoff hopes but also solidifies its bid for a strong finish in the Commissioner’s Cup standings.
