Sumos seek tie for top spot vs Tigers

MAX! BOND Super Glue seeks a share of top spot as it tackles Junior Powerade today in the classification round of the PBA D-League Foundation Cup at the Marikina Sports Complex.

Gametime is 4 p.m. with the Sumos looking for a third straight win against the Tigers to tie Cebuana Lhuillier and Cobra Energy Drink in Group B with 3-1 records.
