HARBOUR Centre tries to notch a franchise-record seventh straight
win when it goes up against Pharex Saturday in the PBL Lipovitan
Amino Sports Cup at The Arena in San Juan.
With the sweet-shooting Jonathan Fernandez
finally making his presence felt, the Batang Pier matched their
franchise record of six straight wins they established in the
previous conference via a masterful 88-69 win over rival Hapee
Toopthpaste last Tuesday. They are the only unbeaten team in the
tournament.
“We’ll just play our usual game and hope
that one of them will provide the spark,” said coach Jorge Gallent,
who is also preparing the team for the Seaba Club Championship
slated next week. “Against Pharex, we’ll have to intensify our
defensive effort.” Against Hapee, Fernandez sizzled for 22
points—his best effort this conference—on a brilliant 6-of-9
shooting from the 3-point zone.
