The team Magnolia has been one of the most prominent performing teams of this season. Depending on the coverage of course, but if it is today they have an 8-3 record and are looking ready for the playoffs. The Cignal HD grew after a decisive victory over the Blackwater Bossing with the score at 105-87 in their last game.
Paul Lee is the player that this team can boast of. He scores superbly and I believe he can own a game in case of eventuality. Others are Ian Sangalang, the new power hub in the paint then there’s Jio Jalalon, who sets the pace for the Hotshots.
After suffering through a very poor season with 5 wins and 6 losses, the NLEX Road Warriors have had it tough. They are following their defeat against the Rain or Shine Elastopainters in the match with a score of 89-94. But despite these challenges, NLEX can boast of talent in Kevin Alas as their pack leader and Don Trollano as an all-around force.
To add, if NLEX ever aims to defeat Magnolia then all of their players must give their best performance throughout the game.
The Magnolia team has become one of the most formidable teams that serve in the PBA. Earlier they were the contestant in the playoffs, and in some seasons, they had also reached to play-offs. Some of the players have mentioned issues such as teamwork as well as defense as some of the reasons that have seen them perform well like Paul Lee.
Sometimes NLEX had its time of Improved play but the contrast they have failed to beat strong teams like Magnolia. Yup, team coach Frankie Lim has called for ‘consistency’ in the team. Kevin Alas has said in his interviews that the team will not back down to give their best and strive forward.
The previous achievements and the roster balance make Magnolia enter this game as the favorite. NLEX is a team with great players but the team lacks form this season.

Magnolia Chicken Timplados Hotshots 102 - NLEX Road Warriors 94
