The Road Warriors (6-2) are coming off a 92-108 loss to Meralco that snapped their franchise-best six-game winning streak.

While the result was a setback, Robert Bolick remained a steady force, delivering 22 points, four rebounds, six assists, and a steal in another all-around effort.

With the playoff race heating up, NLEX is determined to regain its rhythm and solidify its spot among the top contenders.

Phoenix (2-6), meanwhile, has dropped three straight games and is in desperate need of a turnaround.

But if NLEX plays with the same grit that fueled the team's historic run, the Fuel Masters may find it difficult to stop the Road Warriors from getting back on track.
