Expect Rain or Shine to bank on its depth, chemistry, and physicality as the Elasto Painters look to stretch their PBA Philippine Cup winning streak to three against TNT.
Rain or Shine will try to extend its winning run and strengthen its bid for a top four spot when it battles TNT Tropang 5G in the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup on Wednesday, May 21.
Gametime is set at 7:30 p.m. at the Ynares Center in Antipolo.
The Elasto Painters (4-2) are riding a wave of momentum, fresh off a 119-105 stunner over previously unbeaten Magnolia last May 18.
Everything clicked for Rain or Shine in that game, with Adrian Nocum orchestrating the offense to the tune of 20 points, seven assists, and two rebounds, while Player of the Week Santi Santillan anchored both ends with 17 points, 13 boards, and three blocks.
But despite facing a TNT side (3-3) that’s missing injured guard Rey Nambatac, Rain or Shine knows better than to let its guard down.
The Tropang 5G are on a roll of their own, and even without Nambatac, they remain a dangerous squad with Calvin Oftana and RR Pogoy at the helm.
Expect Rain or Shine to bank on its depth, chemistry, and physicality as it looks to stretch its winning streak to three—and take another big step toward a twice-to-beat edge in the quarterfinals.
