RAIN or Shine tries to avoid further slide while Phoenix Super LPG eyes a quick turnaround from a loss as the PBA Commissioner's Cup swings back to the Ynares Sports Center in Antipolo with a Saturday double-header.
The Elasto Painters and the Fuel Masters duke it out in the 6:15 p.m. mainer with the former out for a breakthrough win after back-to-back losses and the latter seeking a rebound from a 107-92 rout by the Magnolia Hotshots Sunday.
Pressure is definitely building up on the chargers of coach Yeng Guiao after a 107-102 drubbing by the Meralco Bolts followed by a 113-103 thumping by the NorthPort Batang Pier.
They have to get their act together now or they will be buried in a deep hole so early in the tourney.
DaJuan Summers must do a better job and so do the Rain or Shine locals.

The ROS import struggled with an 8-of-23 shooting in a 27-point PBA debut versus the Bolts. In the next game opposite the Batang Pier, Summers upped his production to 32 points but committed eight turnovers.
Meanwhile, Phoenix slammed into a wall versus Magnolia, unable to sustain the momentum of its 113-101 triumphant season debut versus NLEX.
The Fuel Masters banked on the fourth-game exploits of young guns Jayjay Alejandro, Ricci Rivero and Ken Tuffin in snatching a win from the jaws of defeat against NLEX.
And it will be a duel of young guns as the Elasto Painters and the Fuel Masters meet in this Saturday clash.
Guiao's youth brigade hopes to finally nail a W with the likes of Rey Nambatac, Gian Mamuyac, Anton Asistio, Shaun Ildefonso and Leonard Santillan up against Rivero and Co.(SB)
