NorthPort eyes PBA quarterfinals berth vs Rain or Shine

NorthPort, currently leading the PBA Commissioner's Cup standings with a 7-2 record, aims to formally secure a quarterfinals berth by defeating Rain or Shine.

The Batang Pier missed their first opportunity to advance after a 94-111 blowout loss to Meralco, which snapped their two-game winning streak.

This loss also marked the first time NorthPort scored below 100 points in the tournament, attributed to Meralco's strong defense.

Despite the setback, NorthPort remains focused on reaching the quarterfinals and improving its chances for a twice-to-beat advantage.

Coach Bonnie Tan previously emphasized the team's primary goal of reaching the quarterfinals, with securing a best-of-three series advantage as a secondary objective.

Key players Kadeem Jack and Arvin Tolentino are expected to contribute significantly to the team's performance.
