Phoenix tries to keep lead versus AMA
PHOENIX tries to tighten its grip on top spot when it clashes with AMA Online Education Thursday in the PBA D-League Foundation Cup at Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig.
Fresh off a 108-95 victory over Tanduay last Tuesday, the Accelerators gun for their seventh win in eight games against an AMA squad that has managed just a win in five outings so far.
Defending champion Cafe France tries to keep pace with Phoenix when it battles Blustar Detergent in the first game at 4 p.m.
The Accelerators lost their aura of invincibility just before the break when they suffered a 78-93 loss to Racal last June 30.
The performance against the Rhum Masters last Tuesday has given coach Eric Gonzales renewed belief in his players.
“I told them we have to get back up whenever we fall,” said Gonzales.
The Accelerators were boosted by the return to form of the trio of Ed Daquioag, Mac Belo, and Mike Tolomia.
