The Rain or Shine Elasto Painters open their bid in the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup against the NLEX Road Warriors.
Adrian Nocum, Santi Santillan, Jhonard Clarito, and Caelan Tiongson headline a hungry Rain or Shine crew as the Elasto Painters begin their PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup campaign against the NLEX Road Warriors on Saturday, April 12, at 7:30 p.m. at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.
After reaching the semifinals in the last three conferences — a streak that began in last year’s Philippine Cup — Rain or Shine is eager to finally break through to the Finals.
The young but tested core will be central to that goal, as the Elasto Painters lean into a promising future that’s been gradually built over recent conferences.
Rain or Shine opens its All-Filipino bid against an NLEX team still smarting from a loss to powerhouse San Miguel.
With momentum from consistent Final Four runs and a maturing roster, the Elasto Painters look to start strong and make good on their championship aspirations.
