Gems, Bakers try to keep top PBA D-League posts

Off to their best start since joining the PBA D-League in 2010, the Cebuana Lhuillier Gems are not about to take their foot off the pedal.

The Gems seek a sixth straight win when they clash with the AMA University Titans at 1 p.m. today in the PBA D-League Foundation Cup at Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City.

“Every time you have that kind of run you tend to relax so I keep reminding the players that this is just a short tournament so we have to win as many games as we can,” Gems coach Boycie Zamar said.

Café France also tries to extend its winning streak to four against Liver Marin at 3 p.m.

Holding a 3-1 slate, the Bakers return to action after their 86-77 victory against MP Hotel last April 16.
