Magnolia seeks 6th straight win vs Meralco

Magnolia aims to extend its undefeated streak to six games against Meralco in a PBA Philippine Cup game at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.

The Hotshots are currently at 5-0 and are looking to maintain their perfect run as they reach the halfway point of the elimination round.

Meralco, the defending champion, has had an inconsistent performance, losing four of their last five games after an initial 2-0 start.

Coach Chito Victolero warned his players against complacency despite their winning streak.

The new article notes that the original game scheduled for Sunday against NLEX was moved due to schedule changes accommodating Meralco's upcoming BCL Asia campaign.

With the rejigged schedule, the Bolts are currently in the midst of playing five games in the next 19 days before focusing on the BCL Asia stint as the PBA's representative.

Magnolia has had extra days of preparation and will have fresher legs than the Bolts, who are playing their third game in six days.

Meralco recently fell to TNT, 101-84, though the final score did not reflect how the Bolts led before TNT's fourth-quarter surge.
