There will be no home court advantage on Tuesday as six teams try to get back on the win column at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City.
Game 1 will see the Marikina Shoemasters take on the Biñan City Heroes. Marikina is desperate for a win after losing their first 7 games. Only one of the two winless teams in the Lakan Cup, the Shoemasters are trying to avoid the worst losing streak in franchise history. On the other side of the court, Biñan City will be trying to bounce back from a loss against the Bulacan Kuyas in their July 31 matchup and erase a two game skid of their own.
The Bataan Risers and the Imus Bandera will headline Game 2 which is scheduled to tip off at 6:30 p.m. Bataan will be trying to avenge their overtime loss against the San Juan Knights and jump into 8th place in their division. Jayjay Helterbrand, Gerald Anderson, and the rest of the Imus squad will be standing in their way as they look to improve their current #12 rank.
For the main event, the 1-6 Rizal Golden Coolers will face an uphill battle against the #2 ranked Bacoor City Strikers. Rizal is looking to replicate Pasay’s recent upset against Bacoor and erase a 5 game losing skid that has relegated them to the bottom of the North Division.
