MANILA, Philippines – Regarding the PBA Commissioner’s Cup on Friday at the PhilSports Arena, RAIN or Shine will try to continue where it left off against an NLEX team that is struggling.

The Elasto Contemporary artists are aiming for a second straight victory to close the gap up to the Road Warriors at 2 to 5 and keep stoking their dreams of making it onto the next round of playoffs, which has been reserved for the season’s top eight teams. They were inspired by their thrilling 115 to 110 victory over Blackwater last Saturday.

It is four o’clock when the game starts.

The coach of Rain or Shine, Yeng Guiao, stated on the evening of the game, “We’re merely attempting to keep our hopes of winning alive.” “We believed an immeasurable breath deep of comfort shortly after achieving our initial win.”

Guiao continued, saying that his natives would keep up their good work and support Demetrius (Tree) Treadwell’s excellent performance, which provides the E-Painters with an inside presence they had previously lacked.

NLEX, meanwhile, has suffered two straight losses, dropping its record to 2 to 4. Coach Frankie Lim’s team should, however, take heart from its 94 to 97 loss to Meralco last Sunday rather than let it bring them down.

Despite trailing by 34 points at halftime and by as much as 48 points at the end of the game, the Road Warriors held strong against the Bolts, eventually tying the score at 94 points apiece before being eliminated in the final 2.8 seconds of play through a Chris Banchero floater and a poorly executed inbound play.

In that game, Don Trollano—who had only scored five points the previous game—and Stokley Chaffee—who finished with 24 points and eight rebounds—were the most outstanding players for the Road Warriors.

In the event Gian Mamuyac, Beau Belga, and Keith Datu come back from injury and support players like Andrei Caracut, Santi Santillan, Jhonard Clarito, and Adrian Nocum, Rain or Shine’s arsenal ought to become even more stocked.

Afterward, Treadwell is involved. While he has only averaged 11 points in both of his initial games, the 6-foot-7 monster has already contributed 16.5 rebounds, 6.0 assists, a steal, and a block. He should continue to strengthen the E-Painters’ frontline, something that initially established import Dajuan Summers was unable to do.

For Guiao, his team would benefit greatly from a second consecutive victory. ” 

Implementing with one another an uninterrupted winning streak has the potential to go to great lengths in raising the squad’s spirits,” he stated.
