Games today:

(Ynares Sports Arena)

2 p.m. – Burger King vs Hapee Toothpaste

4 p.m. – Magnolia vs Toyota Otis

THE Toyota Otis Sparks will try to keep their quarterfinal bid alive while Hapee Toothpaste aims to solidify theirs when the two teams face separate foes in the 2009 PBL PG Flex Linoleum Cup, today at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City.

The Sparks will try to end their three-game losing streak against the dangerous Magnolia Purewater while the Complete Protectors gun for a quarterfinals seat against the Burger King Stunners.

With a 3-6 card, the Sparks can’t afford to drop another game if they want to finish in the top four of the seven-team tournament. Despite falling to a 7-3 record as a result of their 76-73 setback to Hapee on Tuesday, the Wizards are already assured of a semis slot no matter what happens in their last two games on account of their better quotient over Hapee and Bacchus.

Hapee and Bacchus are tied for third to fourth places at 5-5. Five-time champions Harbour Centre clinched the top spot in the Final Four following their emphatic 93-82 win over Burger King two days back. /Correspondent Jonas Panerio
