Cafe France shoots for win No. 5 vs AMA five

CAFÉ France shoots for a fifth straight victory today when it battles AMA University in the PBA D-League Foundation Cup at Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig.

The Bakers have rebounded impressively after their loss to the Cebuana Lhuillier Gems, racking up four straight victories, including a 79-55 crushing of Livermarin last Thursday.

But the Bakers will be facing a dangerous AMA squad which has the height and heft to cause matchup problems Cafe France in their 1 p.m. encounter.

Cagayan Valley also seeks to extend its winning streak to three games against struggling Tanduay Light in the second game at 3 p.m.

The Rising Suns got a measure of revenge when they pummeled the Hapee Fresh Fighters last Monday in a rematch of their Aspirants Cup finals encounter.

The Rhum Masters, who are in eighth spot with a 1-3 slate, are looking to snap a three-game slide.

A win by the Bakers will enhance their bid for the second outright semifinal spot with leader Cebuana poised to clinch the first slot in the Last Four.

“The players have promised to make a return to the Top 4,” said Macaraya. “They were really disappointed when we were swept by Hapee last conference. I thought the players have learned their lessons.”
