PBA Commissioner’s Cup quarterfinals kick off with Rain or Shine facing Converge

The PBA Commissioner’s Cup Quarterfinals begin today, February 5, at Smart Araneta Coliseum. The first game features Rain or Shine Elastopainters against Converge FiberXers at 5 PM, followed by Barangay Ginebra Gin Kings facing Meralco Bolts at 7:30 PM. Barangay Ginebra recently defeated Meralco 91-87, but coach Tim Cone noted that this win may not be significant for the playoffs. Key players, including Justin Brownlee, had limited minutes, making it difficult to predict the outcome of the upcoming match. Scottie Thompson played only 15 minutes in the last game due to load management but still contributed as a leader on the court. His performance highlights the team's strategy as they prepare for the quarterfinals.
