Games Today (Paco Arena, Manila)

2 p.m. – Cignal-Ateneo vs Family Mart-Enderun

4 p.m. – Chadao-FEU vs Valencia City Bukidnon-SSCR

Cignal-Ateneo looks to continue its flight atop the 2019 PBA D-League when it meets Family Mart-Enderun today at Paco Arena in Manila.

The Blue Eagles went off in their season opener last Feb. 14, blasting Go for Gold-CSB, 103-75, to gain early leadership in the Aspirants Group.

And the performance surprised even coach Tab Baldwin, considering the internal rebuild he has subjected his side to in the offseason.

“We’ve for some guys in our roster that we’re reconstructing their shots. We’re not doing a lot, really, but the guys played very efficiently for us and that’s one thing I really liked,” said the former national team coach.

Isaac Go, Matt Nieto, Adrian Wong and Ivorian center Ange Kouame had a rousing debut in their developmental ranks, though Cignal-Ateneo will miss the services of Thirdy Ravena for the second straight game with the high-flying swingman still with Gilas Pilipinas.
