MANILA, Philippines – Barangay Ginebra San Miguel and the Meralco Bolts will headline the opening day matches of the 2015 PBA Commissioner’s Cup on Tuesday, January 27 at the Mall of Asia Arena.
The second conference of the PBA season kicks off at 4:15 pm on January 27 when the KIA Sorento, featuring 7-foot-3 import PJ Ramos, go up against Stanley Pringle, Terrence Romeo, and the rest of the GlobalPort Batang Pier.
Following the first game, Ginebra – which will once again coached by Ato Agustin and will revert to their trademark run-and-gun system – will aim to get off to a quick start to the conference when they battle with head coach Norman Black’s Bolts.
The following day, Wednesday, January 28, the Barako Bull Energy will go up against Blackwater Elite at 4:15 pm at the Cuneta Astrodome, followed by a matchup between the Talk ‘N Text Tropang Texters and the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters.
The Commissioner’s Cup single-round eliminations will last from January 27 up to March 25. Unlike in the currently on-going Philippine Cup where 10 teams advanced to the playoffs, only eight will make it to the postseason of the second conference.
Most games will be held at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, with some taking place at the Mall of Asia Arena, Cuneta Astrodome, and Ynares Center – Antipolo.
As usual, the league will hold out-of-town games – mostly on Saturdays. For the Commissioner’s Cup, matches will take place in cities like Polomolok, South Cotabato, Dipolog City, Zamboanga, Davao City, Panabo City, Davao Del Norte, Cagayan De Oro City, and Tubod, Lanao Del Norte.
