In the early round, sister teams won't face each other. Good timing isn't it.
Game 1 might be taken by Magnolia but for me, TNT will win on that series. Magnolia became aggressive because they are fighting for their spot. TNT on the other hand is comfortable so they might likely go into their serious mode if ever Magnolia will take Game 1 and put TNT on brink of elimination.
It's a do or die for Magnolia but TNT for sure will not take it for granted despite having the advantage.
Magnolio is always aggressive when they are playing, they are one of the teams in the PBA which are efficient when it comes to their defense.
I checked the odds but it's not available until now, I'm wondering what would be the betting odds for this two teams.
I was about to make this post but when I checked on their website, it's not actually the Magnolia vs TNT will play, it's Phoenix vs Magnolia.
