Games today (Filoil Arena)
4 p.m. – Jumbo Plastic vs Caida Tile Masters
6 p.m. – Sta. Lucia vs Supremo Lex
MANILA, Philippines -- Two more teams make their debut as action in the Pilipinas Commercial Basketball League resumes Wednesday at the Filoil Arena in San Juan.
Jumbo Plastic takes on opening day winner Caida Tile Masters in the first game at 4 p.m. while Supremo Lex battles Sta. Lucia Realty in the main game at 6 p.m.
Caida Tile Masters has a chance to grab solo lead after winning their opening game last Sunday.
Coached by Mike Buendia, the Tile Masters ran roughshod over Foton, 90-81, to join early winner and sister team Racal Kama Motors, which defeated Sta. Lucia in overtime, 99-92,.
At least eight players scored seven points or more for the Tile Masters with Jordan Rios leading the way with 12 points. Other players who had solid games last time included Alex Almario, Mike Parala, ex-pro Marvin Hayes, Joseph Terso, Jack Corpuz and Ford Ruaya as Caida displayed balance firepower in beating the Pampanga-based Foton Toplander.
Payback will be on the minds of the Realtors as they take on Supremo Lex.
The Realtors squandered a 20-point lead in the third period and lost steam against the Racal Kama Motors in the opener.
Sta. Lucia coach Bonnie Garcia and his crew want to learn from this bitter experience as they try to refocus to get into the win column of this tournament which drew eight participants.
