Games Today (Pasig City Sports Center)
2 p.m. – Zark’s vs Wang’s
4 p.m. – JRU vs Perpetual Help
Upstart Wang’s Basketball and Jose Rizal University aim to stay ahead of the pack as they take on separate rivals today in the resumption of the 2018 PBA D-League Aspirants Cup action at the Pasig City Sports Center.
The Couriers, built around the core of Letran Knights, take the floor at 2 p.m. against the streaking Zark’s Burgers Jawbreakers, the hottest team in the field with three straight victories.
The Heavy Bombers, still unscathed after two outings along with the Couriers, are bracing for a tough grind in their 4 p.m. encounter with the Perpetual Help Altas.
“We cannot afford to underestimate them since they are starting to thrive in the system of coach Frankie Lim,” said JRU coach Gio Lasquety, wary of Perpetual Help’s stingy defense that was in full display in its 65-48 victory over Mila’s Lechon last week. (Jerome Lagunzad)
