Blackwater kicks off the penultimate week of their PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup elimination round campaign against fellow desperate team Phoenix Fuel Masters.
It’s now or never for the Blackwater Bossing.
The Bossing fight for survival hen they lock horns against the Phoenix Fuel Masters, Tuesday, January 21, at the Ynares Center, Antipolo.
Game time is at 5:00 p.m.
What is at stake is simple for the Jefferey Cariaso-mentored squad: win to remain in contention for the remaining quarterfinal ticket; lose and the Bossing’s postseason aspirations will be basically out of reach.
With a 2-8 record, the Bossing are currently in 12th place with their last game scheduled against the NorthPort Batang Pier (7-3) on Saturday, January 25.
The Bossing are coming off a disappointing 127-109 defeat to Converge last Sunday, marking their fourth loss in their last five games.
Despite the defeat, import George King continued to impress with 34 points, 13 rebounds, and six assists, while Jaydee Tungcab stepped up with a solid 20-point outing.
Facing a desperate Phoenix squad also eager for a win, the Bossing must find answers on both ends of the floor to halt their skid and stay in contention.
