MANAMA, Bahrain – Rain or Shine assured itself of a top two finish in the PBA Season 50 Philippine Cup elimination round following a 101-92 victory over a depleted Magnolia Monday night at the Khalifa Sports City here.
The Elasto Painters took control early on and established a big lead in the third quarter, before Gian Mamuyac and the rest delivered a strong finish on the way to winning their third straight–and retake the no. 1 spot with an 8-2 record.
With this, Coach Yeng Guiao and his charges are headed to the quarterfinals with a twice-to-beat advantage after sending the Hotshots down to 6-4.
