PASIG--Phoenix looks to rebuild a winning streak as the team clashes with AMA in the PBA D-League Foundation Cup at the Ynares Sports Arena on Thursday night,

Fresh from a huge bounce-back win against the Tanduay Rhum Masters on Tuesday night, the Accelerators will try to score a second straight victory against the Titans, who entered the FIBA OQT with a morale-boosting win against the Blu-Malaysia Dragons on June 27, at 6 p.m. while also trying to solidify their hold of the top spot in the team standings.

In the curtain raiser at 4 p.m., Cafe France-CEU and Blu-Malaysia return to action after their own OQT hiatus.

The Dragons will attempt to finish some unfinished business from their first round meeting on June 14 against the Bakers, who will be shorthanded for Thursday night as Carl Cruz will serve his one-game ban, which was a consequence for his disqualifying foul in their match against the Racal Tile Masters on June 28.
