Humbled by the Knights, 84-63, in their homecourt in the eliminations, the Blades are determined to return the favor in a bid to move within a win of a first-ever finals stint.


The Slashers, on the other hand, hope to keep their invincibility at home as they look forward to re-stamp their class on the Gems for another title shot.

                    [Summary] => The Laguna Lakers have always been considered one of the powerhouses of the MBA’s Northern Conference. However, due to one reason or another, they have as yet not fulfilled that lofty billing, struggling to get their neighbors. This year, with the return of head coach Bonnie Garcia and a stronger guard rotation, they may finally turn heads.
