THOUGH one side is off to a solid start and the other on a shaky kickoff, Terrafirma and Phoenix Super LPG are expected to give each other a stern test in an interesting PBA Philippine Cup face-off at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig on Wednesday.
The Dyip had got off to their strongest start in a tourney in years before being tripped, 100-97, by the TNT Tropang Giga Saturday.
On the other hand, the Fuel Masters barely dropped a 124-120 loss to the NorthPort Batang Pier in overtime before yielding to the lethal guns of Barangay Ginebra.
But the fact that the Fuel Masters were semifinalists in the recent Commissioner’s Cup should not be set aside.
Stephen Holt, Juami Tiongson and the rest of the Terrafima gang are surely in for a battle versus Jason Perkins, RJ Jazul and their teammates.
Coach Jamike Jarin’s troops should be a lot tougher if young assassin Tyler Tio is ready return from an injury.
Tio was 2-of-4 from the arc and the second best scorer with 19 points in their overtime loss to the Batang Pier. But he was in civvies and limping on the sideline in their game against the Gin Kings.
Nonetheless, the Fuel Masters, for sure, have other arsenal and ammo to throw at the Dyip.
Terrafirma, meanwhile, is expected to lean heavily on its one-two punch in Stephen Holt and Juami Tiongson.
Through three games, Tiongson is the third best scorer in the tourney with 24.0 points an outing, behind Robert Bolick’s 32.5 and Jamie Malonzo’s 24.5.
Holt, for his part, is putting in 22.6 points, 8.3 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game.
Perkins has been the lead force for the Fuel Masters, averaging 21.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists.(SB)
