The finals series in the 2018 JP World Corp. Customer Appreciation Basketball League will begin tomorrow with Joeten 1 and Top Development Inc. gunning for the important win in Game 1.<\/p>\n
Joeten 1 and TDI know how crucial the opener is, as the championship is only a best-of-three affair. Joeten 1 advanced to the title series after sweeping Triple J in their best-of-three semis duel, while TDI prevailed over RNV Best Deal in the other Final Four pairing.<\/p>\n
Before making it to the finals, Joeten 1 and TDI topped their respective pools in the elimination round so the title showdown is expected to be a close one.<\/p>\n
Joeten 1 will be pinning its hopes on Chris Lilles, Alex Lauron, Ernest Duenas, Vince Teregeyo, and K.J. Kabiriel. Completing the Joeten 1 roster are Ferdie Tobias, Patrick Rotap, Juanito Sambile, and Sydney Quan.<\/p>\n
TDI, on the other hand, will lean on the backcourt duo of Sean Rabasto and Raymond Velasco. The squad will also count on big man Darwin Barbo, Jerome Reyes, and Nestor Arreza.<\/p>\n
The TDI-Joeten 1 finals opener will start at 7pm after the 6pm game between Triple J and RNV Best Deal, which will battle for the third place honors.<\/p>\n
Game 2 will also be played this weekend, as Joeten 1 and TDI collide anew this Sunday. Game 3, if necessary, will be scheduled next weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
