Breaking the trend

- By REYNALD MAGALLON

Rain or Shine hopes to break the trend of futility against TNT in what it deems a crucial Game 4 of their best-of-seven PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup semifinals series at the Mall of Asia Arena on Wednesday, July 2.

After finally scoring the breakthrough 107-86 win in Game 3, the Elasto Painters now look to exorcise the ghost of their 4-1 series losses in the past two conferences against the Tropang 5G in the contest scheduled at 7:30 p.m.

Setting the table to the clash is the equally entertaining encounter between Ginebra and San Miguel, with the Kings also holding a 2-1 advantage
