After a tumultuous elimination round campaign, the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters finally secure their position in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner's Cup playoffs.
With its eyes fixed firmly on its goal, Rain or Shine dismissed TNT, 106-96, to secure an outright quarterfinal berth in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner's Cup at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig on Friday, Jan. 31.
The Elasto Painters (7-5) thus avoided the harder route as they clinched the sixth seat in the next round where they will lock horns with third-ranked Converge in best-of-three play.
