MANILA--TNT begins life
without Ranidel De Ocampo as the team takes on sister squad NLEX as
the PBA Governors' Cup returns to the Ynares Center in Antipolo on
Wednesday night.
The KaTropa, who gave up the six-foot-six stretch-4 to the Meralco Bolts in a trade on
Monday, face off with the streaking Road Warriors in the featured
match of a twinbill at 7 p.m.
TNT got two players
from the said trade, Justin Chua from Meralco and Norbert Torres of
conduit squad Phoenix.
On the other hand, NLEX
is returning from a 10-day break, and the squad looks to formally
seal one of the four twice-to-beat advantages in the next round.
Speaking of the Fuel
Masters, they will try to salvage what is left of their playoff hopes
as they clash with the Rain Or Shine Elasto Painters in the first
game at 4:15 p.m.
Phoenix, which now
holds the longest active skid right now at seven games with Alaska
currently on a three-game winning streak following a 14-game slide,
needs to win its last two games and must hope that the teams stacked
at the middle of the team standings will falter to get a crack at the
quarterfinals.
