The Rhum Masters take the first crack when they face Cignal-San Beda in the opening game at 3 p.m. while the Tile Masters square off with Café France at 5 p.m.Racal and Tanduay gained a 1-0 lead in their own series with contrasting wins in Game 1. The Tile Masters relied on Sidney Onwuebere’s buzzer-beating triple to lift his team to an 88-86 thriller over the Bakers while the Rhum Masters dominated the top seed Hawkeyes, 66-55, to get the series lead. Racal head coach Jerry Codiñera knows Game 2 will be tougher as he expects Café France to bounce back and tie the series. Rhum Masters coach Lawrence Chongson warns his players not be complacent against the Hawkeyes. And hopefully we can recover, take good care of Game 2, and look forward to Game 3,” he said.
