Bataan Ballers Survives RiseOfTheGuardians, Barges into the Play-Offs
It was the newest member of the team, Luka, who carried Bataan Ballers past RiseOfTheGuardians in a game Thursday night that really went down to the wire. Luka drilled a dagger three-pointer with less than a minute left in the regulation to break the tie at 97-94. The Guardians were not able to convert from their back-to-back timeouts and from thereon, both teams were just able to add split charities to their score sheet. The game ended with a single possession, 97-94, in favor of the Ballers. They will be going up against Telecom Engineers or Blazing Comets, depending on Saturday's game results.
Most of Saturday's games, which is the last set of elimination games, are however non-bearing for most of the teams. Comets and Engineers will be fighting for the top spot for the Great 8 in their own respective assignments. Brigada Onse and RiseOfTheGuardians featured in two different games will be vying for the fifth spot to avoid the relegation series.
Play-off scenarios for Tuesday are as follows:

Singing Snipers (1st) vs (4th) SMB Philippines
