Games Tomorrow
(Pasig City Sports Center)
3 p.m. – PNP vs Judiciary Customs vs Malacañang
5 p.m. – Malacanang vs Customs
No. 1 seed Bureau of Customs and second seed Judiciary hope to regain their bearing as they try again to seal a title showdown in the 5th UNTV Cup tomorrow when they face their respective rivals in similar playoff matches at the Pasig City Sports Center.
The BOC Transformers collide with the Malacañang Kamao at 5 p.m. with the former out to rebound from a 99-88 loss that wiped out their twice-to-beat advantage.
In that game, Customs’ playing coach Kenneth Duremdes got into foul trouble early and finished with only 10 points.
Tight officiating and all, the Transformers must take care of their business, particularly on the hot-shooting Eric dela Cuesta.
The former amateur standout exploded for 33 points in a performance that somehow rubbed off on his teammates, especially Christian Luanzon and Visnu Das Javier who produced 22 points each.
The charity of the winning team will get the R4 million prize donated by UNTV with the runner-up, third and fourth placers getting P2 million, P1 million and P500,000, respectively.
The Judiciary Magis also need to recover from a shocking 92-67 defeat to the Philippine National Police Responders if they are to regain the title they won two years ago.
They can exact sweet revenge only if Chester Tolomia, Don Camaso, and Ariel Capus rediscover the touch that enabled them to help their team win six straight games in the elims.
