Rain or Shine is still among the hottest teams in the PBA Season 50 Philippine Cup.
Rain or Shine continued its red-hot play, beating Terrafirma, 106-91, in the PBA Season 50 Philippine Cup at the Ynares Center in Antipolo Friday, Oct. 31.
The Elasto Painters snuffed out the Dyip's hopes in the payoff period, dropping a 31-16 bomb in the frame after their foes tied the count at 75-all behind a strong 36-21 third quarter.
RoS thus rolled to a third straight win for a 4-1 mark that put them atop the standings anew with NLEX and TNT.
