Cebuana Lhuillier tries to atone from a painful setback and vents its ire on Maynilad in the resumption of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) D-League Foundation Cup at the Letran gym on Tuesday. The Gems fell into a four-way tie for the lead with Max Bond!, Cobra Energy Drink and FCA Ani after losing to Junior Powerade, 73-77. They have a chance to break free from that logjam and assume solo lead anew with a win against the Water Dragons in their 4 p.m. encounter.
Maynilad, whose team is composed of the core of the NCAA champion San Beda Lions, will try to wrap up its elimination round campaign with a win. The team will fly to the United States to train in preparation for the collegiate wars.
The Water Dragons dumped the Tigers, 119-67, in the most lopsided win last Tuesday in Malabon City, serving notice of their strong intention of winning the inaugural staging of this tournament.
PC Gilmore tries to get back to its winning form when it faces the struggling RnW Pacific Pipes at 2 p.m.
The Wizards suffered a heartbreaking 88-97 loss to the NLEX Road Warriors last April 12 on a late basket by Clifford Hodge. PC Gilmore now carries a 2-2 win-loss card.
RnW, on the other hand, has lost its third straight game. The team lost 65-53 to Freego Jeans last Tuesday and fell into a tie with the Falcons at 1-3 card in Group A.
