Sitting at 6-3, Eastern is fresh off an 84-74 victory over San Miguel in the East Asia Super League, showcasing their defensive prowess and balanced scoring.
However, the guest team remain focused on bouncing back from its 83-88 loss to Meralco earlier this month.
Eastern’s import Chris McLaughlin has been a force on both ends of the floor, while Hayden Blankley and Glen Yang continue to deliver clutch performances.
With a playoff berth within reach, Eastern aims to maintain their composure and avoid an upset against the winless Terrafirma squad. A win would solidify their standing and boost their momentum heading into the postseason.
