MANILA, Philippines – North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) and Pharex dispute the solo lead in Group A when they clash today in the PBA D-League Foundation Cup at the Far Eastern University gym. The Road Warriors and the Bidang Generix are looking for their second straight win following their opening day wins in the newly-formed league.
Gametime is at 4 p.m. with the Road Warriors heavily favored to prevail owing to their star-studded line-up.
Maynilad, meantime, goes for its first win against debuting Max! Bond Super Glue in the curtain raiser at 2 p.m.
Behind the trio of NCAA star Calvin Abueva, ex-pro Ogie Menor and Fil-Am Clifford Hodge, NLEX beat Freego Jeans, 82-71, exactly a week ago at the same venue.
On the other hand, former FEU Tam Marlon Adolfo, Fil-Am Jason Deutchman and big man Raymund Aguilar powered Pharex to a 100-90 win opposite Blackwater on Thursday at The Arena in San Juan.
Maynilad, powered by players Sudan Daniel, Garvo Lanete and Anthony Semerad of NCAA champion San Beda, is hoping to bounce back from a 78-70 loss to Cobra Energy Drink on March 12.
