Facing a 0-2 deficit in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup semifinals, the NorthPort Batang Pier are in must-win mode as they take on the Barangay Ginebra Gin Kings in Game 3 on Sunday, March 2.

The match starts at 7:30 p.m. at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

NorthPort has struggled to keep up with Ginebra’s firepower, losing by an average margin of 17.5 points in the first two games.

With their conference on the line, the no. 1 Batang Pier are leaving no stone unturned in their search for a breakthrough.

For NorthPort to turn the tide, they will need Kadeem Jack, Arvin Tolentino, and Joshua Munzon to step up in a big way against a battle-tested Gin Kings squad. A win in Game 3 could shift the momentum, but another loss would push them to the edge of elimination.
