AFTER losing its grip on the top two berths, Phoenix looks to regain its fighting form in the PBA D-League Foundation Cup Tuesday night.

“I’m positive that the team will bounce back,” said Phoenix coach Eric Gonzales.

So Gonzales thinks there’s no choice for the Accelerators but to sweep their remaining assignments after blowing their games against Racal (9-2) and Cafe France (8-2), the two teams now holding the lead.

The three squads remain in the hunt for the top two slots and the twice-to-beat edge in the semifinals.

“Our last two games are must-wins,” said Gonzales, whose wards will have a strong shot at wresting a spot in the top two, or at least, getting a favorable quotient in case of a three-way tie if they accomplish a sweep.
