The Phoenix Fuel Masters are looking to score back-to-back victories in the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup.
Fresh off a statement win, the Phoenix Fuel Masters aim to build momentum as they face the powerhouse San Miguel Beermen in the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup on Sunday, May 11.
Gametime is set at 5:00 p.m. at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium in Malate. Fans can watch the livestream on One Sports' Youtube channel, powered by Pilipinas Live.
Phoenix improved to 2-3 after an emphatic 95-81 victory over TNT last May 2, snapping a two-game skid.
Jason Perkins powered the win with a strong all-around performance—27 points, six rebounds, three assists, and a block—as the Fuel Masters showed flashes of their early-conference potential.
Now, Phoenix looks to stack wins and make a serious push in the standings.
But to do so, they'll need to navigate a San Miguel side still stinging from an 89-84 upset loss to TNT. With the Beermen boasting stars like CJ Perez and June Mar Fajardo, the Fuel Masters will need Perkins and the supporting cast to match that firepower on both ends.
A win would not only even Phoenix’s record at 3-3 but also serve as a major confidence boost against one of the league’s perennial contenders.
