UNBEATEN Rain or Shine shoots for a third straight win when it battles powerhouse Talk ‘N Text at 400 p.m. today in the 36th Philippine Basketball Association Governor’s Cup at the Araneta Coliseum.
This could be the acid test for the Elasto Paintmasters after winning against B-Meg Derby Ace and Air21 in their first two outings. Now, they will be facing the Philippine Cup and Commissioner’s Cup champion Tropang Texters.
“This is a good start for us,” said Talk ‘N Text coach Chot Reyes, referring to his team’s 101-75 victory against Alaska. “The main factor here is the energy at the start of the ballgame and the defensive energy [against the Aces].”
“We had a good two weeks of practice, the players were focused right away and they were business-like. Two things, we have to be hungry and we have to be dissatisfied. We have to be consistently discontented so we can consistently push it.”
The Texters are gunning for a second win.
