The defending champion San Miguel Beermen are on the ropes and in need of another big win in the PBA Commissioner's Cup.
The San Miguel Beermen face a must-win scenario as they take on the TNT Tropang Giga in the PBA Commissioner’s Cup on Sunday at the Ynares Center in Antipolo.
Tip-off is set for 7:30 p.m.
With a 5-6 record, the defending champion Beermen kept their playoff hopes alive with a critical victory over Converge FiberXers in their previous outing.
Another win to close the elimination round could solidify their spot in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup quarterfinals, ensuring they stay in the hunt for the title.
June Mar Fajardo, the eight-time PBA MVP, continues to be the heart of San Miguel, anchoring both ends of the floor.
In the win over Converge, June Mar had incredible support from the likes of Juami Tiongson, Don Trollano, and import Malik Pope as the Beermen look to make a push.
Facing the Beermen are longtime rivals TNT Tropang Giga (7-3), who are battling for a top-2 finish and a twice-to-beat advantage in the playoffs.
The Beermen will need to dig deep and play their best basketball to counter TNT’s formidable lineup, led by Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and a strong supporting cast.
San Miguel’s playoff hopes hang in the balance, making this clash a high-stakes encounter between two champion teams.
