Two undefeated teams, NorthPort and Eastern, face off in a crucial match for the lead in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner's Cup.
It’s a titanic collision between two of the top teams as NorthPort and Eastern dispute the leadership in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup at the Phil Sports Arena in Pasig City on Friday, Dec. 20.

And lessons certainly are learned for the Batang Pier after that 114-109 loss to Phoenix where a win could have pushed them to their franchise’s longest streak and closer to their coveted playoff ticket. “I told the guys to keep our heads up.

Siguro ‘yun ‘yung magdi-dictate din kung nasaan kami talaga ngayon, dahil five straight wins and then lost one and then going up against Eastern,” he adde
