Magnolia eyes 7th straight win vs Rain or Shine

Magnolia aims to extend its unbeaten streak to seven games in the PBA Philippine Cup against a tough Rain or Shine team.

The Hotshots, currently at a perfect 6-0, are preparing for a more challenging playoff path as other teams become more aggressive.

Coach Chito Victolero acknowledges that facing Rain or Shine will be a test of character, conditioning, and mindset.

Magnolia is fresh from a contentious 117-92 victory over Meralco, which saw a bench-clearing incident.

Key players for Magnolia include Paul Lee, Ian Sangalang, Mark Barroca, and Zav Lucero, who experienced a dangerous tackle during the Meralco game.

Rain or Shine, with a 3-2 record, aims to improve their standing and potentially break into the Top 4.

The game between Magnolia and Rain or Shine is set for 7:30 p.m. at the Ynares Center-Montalban in Rizal.

In an earlier game, San Miguel Beer (4-2) will play Terrafirma (1-6) at 5 p.m., with San Miguel aiming to take sole possession of third place.
