The Hong Kong Eastern continue their quest for a twice-to-beat advantage in the PBA Commissioner’s Cup as they face the Magnolia Hotshots on Sunday at the Ynares Center in Antipolo.

Tip-off is set for 5:00 p.m.

Sitting at 7-3, Eastern is locked in a heated battle for a coveted top-two finish, with five other teams also boasting at least seven wins.

A victory over Magnolia would keep Eastern in the running for the all-important playoff bonus as the Commissioner’s Cup elimination round reaches its climax.

Eastern is coming off an emphatic 134-110 win over Terrafirma, where the Hong Kong-based squad showcased their offensive firepower, drilling a staggering 20 triples.

With Magnolia desperately fighting for survival at 4-6, Eastern cannot afford to take the Hotshots lightly. This game is critical for both teams’ postseason aspirations, with Eastern aiming to secure their place among the conference’s elite.
