Black Mamba, Italiano's Homme try to get back on track

GETTING back on track is the primary goal of Black Mamba and Italiano's Homme as they cross paths in the 2019 PBA D-League Foundation Cup on Thursday at the JCSGO Gym in Cubao.

Both newcomers impressed in their respective developmental league debuts but failed to sustain it as they fell in their following assignments, dropping their win-loss cards to 1-1.

The Energy Drink are coming off a stinging 99-110 defeat to the playoff-bound Technological Institute of the Philippines last week where their comeback from 28-points down fell short.

So Darrell Caranguian, Clark Derige, and the rest of the Vis Valencia-mentored squad are looking to vent their ire on Italiano's Homme in the 3:30 p.m. bout between Group B squads.

Black Mamba will face an Italiano's Homme side which also to TIP, 98-133, last August 8 and that long break it had could either be beneficial or not.
