Racal faces Tanduay, seeks 9th win

RACAL seeks to solidify its hold of top spot when it clashes with dangerous Tanduay today in the 2016 PBA D-League Foundation Cup at Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig.

Two days after stunning Phoenix, the Tile Masters hope to carry their fine form against the Rhum Masters, who need a victory in the 6 p.m. match to keep their Top 2 hopes alive.

Stunned by Tanduay last Tuesday, defending champion Cafe France battles AMA Online Education at 4 p.m.

A win by the Bakers will allow them to keep pace with the Tile Masters, but a loss by Racal will also put Cafe France in the solo lead.

The Titans, who sport a 3-5 record, are facing elimination, with another loss completing the semifinal cast that already include Racal, Cafe France, Phoenix and Tanduay.

“Tanduay’s win over Cafe France put everyone on the same place, so everybody still has a chance to be 1 or 2,” Racal coach Caloy Garcia said. Cedelf P. Tupas
