MANILA, Philippines — Meralco seeks a share of the lead with Barangay Ginebra while Star tries to regain a piece of sixth spot with Rain or Shine as the Bolts and the Hotshots take on eliminated teams in the third to the last play date of the PBA Governors Cup eliminations at the MOA Arena in Pasay City today.

GlobalPort is still fielding a new import in Jamal Thomas who is taking over from Murphey Holloway who suffered a hand injury.


The Bolts are at second place behind the Barangay GInebra Kings (8-2) but, at 7-2, still need to get going in their closing games in the elims to secure a Top Four finish and gain the quarters bonus.

GlobalPort is out of the playoff race, but is playing a game that has bearing in its bid for a better finish. A win gives the Batang Pier a ninth-place windup, ahead of the Alaska Milk Aces, the Phoenix Fuel Masters and the Kia Picanto. A loss relegates them to 10th behind the Aces.
