Blackwater Bossing look to end a six-game skid and salvage some pride as they take on fellow cellar-dweller Terrafirma Dyip in the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup on Sunday, June 7.

The match starts at 5:30 p.m. at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.

At 1-8, the Bossing are trying to shake off a rough stretch that saw them drop their latest outing in a lopsided 82-108 loss to a surging TNT squad. The Bossing simply couldn’t keep pace, mustering just two double-digit scorers in Christian David and Sedrick Barefield.

David posted a 13-point, 13-rebound double-double performance, while Barefield added 13 markers and a couple of assists, but their efforts weren’t enough against TNT’s relentless attack.

With playoff hopes long out of the picture, Blackwater now turns its focus to finishing the conference strong. They’ll have a chance to do just that against the Terrafirma Dyip (1-9), who have dropped nine straight games of their own.

With both teams eager to escape the bottom of the standings, Sunday’s duel offers a shot at redemption—and a rare win in an otherwise forgettable campaign.
