Phoenix (1-3) is coming off a tough 118-99 loss to the unbeaten Magnolia in Zamboanga, but Ballungay continued to shine with a monster 25-point, 15-rebound double-double.
RR Garcia added 22 points in front of his home crowd, while Jason Perkins chipped in an all-around effort with 17 points, seven boards, and five assists in the said loss to the unbeaten Hotshots.
Facing a TNT side still winless at 0-2, the Fuel Masters look to pounce and get back on track in what promises to be a gritty showdown between two teams eager to climb out of the cellar.
