GlobalPort and Talk ‘N Text are both aiming for win No. “It is a must win for us to stay in the hunt for a playoff berth,” said GlobalPort coach Franz Pumaren via text message on Tuesday. A victory by GlobalPort or Talk ‘N Text will allow any of the two to tie Phoenix Petroleum in the second spot. Meanwhile, Blackwater is keen to win after a frustrating defeat to Barangay Ginebra last week when it battles the Star Hotshots for a quarterfinals playoff berth. “Need to win in our game against Star tomorrow to avoid complications,” said Elite coach Leo Isaac.
