The NorthPort Batang Pier play their final game of the elimination round as they look to strengthen their bid for a twice-to-beat advantage in the PBA Commissioner's Cup playoffs.
The NorthPort Batang Pier will aim to solidify their bid for a twice-to-beat advantage as they face the Blackwater Bossing on Saturday, January 25, 2025, at the Ynares Center in Antipolo.
Tip-off is at 5:00 p.m.
Currently sitting atop the standings with an 8-3 record, NorthPort is in a tight battle with six other teams for a coveted top-2 finish that comes with a crucial playoff bonus.
A victory over the eliminated Blackwater squad would give the Batang Pier a strong push toward securing their spot in the quarterfinals with a twice-to-beat edge.
NorthPort is coming off a thrilling 105-104 victory against defending champion San Miguel, where import Kadeem Jack delivered the game-winning basket in the clutch.
Jack’s steady presence, alongside key locals like Arvin Tolentino and Joshua Munzon, will be vital in keeping the Batang Pier in contention for a strong postseason position.
Facing a Blackwater team fresh from a morale-boosting win over Phoenix, the Batang Pier cannot afford to let their guard down as they continue their march toward playoff glory.
