PASIG--Tanduay and Racal collide in an all-important battle in the PBA D-League Foundation Cup at the Ynares Sports Arena on Thursday night.
Both the Tile Masters and the Rhum Masters will use their respective agenda as motivation for their 6 p.m. tip-off.
A Tanduay win will hand the team the last seat in the semifinals, rendering the late push by AMA, which takes on Cafe France-CEU in the first game at 4 p.m., useless while keeping its bid for a twice-to-beat advantage in the next round alive. Tanduay can also enter the semis outright with an AMA loss.
Racal, on the other hand, can seal the first semifinal incentive with a win against Tanduay while putting the latter's chance for the said bonus in jeopardy, especially if Cafe France beats AMA.
