Where would the Meralco Bolts be without the “Rock ‘N Roll”? The potential absence of Bolts’ big man Raymond Almazan in the remainder of the playoff would be a severe blow to their hopes of beating the Gin Kings in the 2019 PBA Governor’s Cup Finals. Coach Tim Cone and his Kings are eyeing their second straight Finals victory and a commanding 3-1 series lead in today’s 7 p.m. encounter. “Having a swollen knee in the middle of the championship is not something you could bounce back that easy,” he added. Bolts’ team manager Paolo Trillo, meanwhile, was quoted as saying the team would still talk to Almazan to assess whether he is capable of playing in Game 4 and the rest of the series.
