Eliminated from playoff contention, the Blackwater Bossing look to shake the standings up as a parting gift from the PBA Commissioner's Cup.
The Blackwater Bossing will play for pride as they take on the league-leading NorthPort Batang Pier on Saturday, January 25, 2025, at the Ynares Center in Antipolo.
Tip-off is at 5:00 p.m.
With a 3-8 record, Blackwater has officially been eliminated from playoff contention following San Miguel's victory on Friday, as the Beermen were able to nab a crucial fifth win.
Despite this, the Bossing are determined to end their Commissioner’s Cup campaign with a statement win against the 8-3 Batang Pier, who currently hold the top spot in the standings.
In their previous outing, Blackwater showcased grit and resilience with a 100-92 win over Phoenix, even while playing without import George King.
The All-Filipino lineup was spearheaded by veteran big man Justin Chua, who delivered a strong performance to lead the charge.
Facing the formidable Batang Pier, who are gunning for a twice-to-beat advantage, the Bossing will need another inspired effort to pull off an upset and finish their campaign on a positive note.
