Bay Area looks to tighten its grip of the early lead in the standings when it squares off against Phoenix while Aldin Ayo aims to keep his record unblemished when Converge takes on Magnolia in the 2022 PBA Commissioner’s Cup at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on Saturday, Oct. 1. Quickly following suit is the clash between FiberXers and the Hotshots as Ayo tests his coaching wits against a seasoned coach in Chito Victolero in the second game at 6:45 p.m. “It’s us that have to learn. Not to be left out however is the Hotshots reinforcement Nick Rakocevic who turned heads in his PBA debut with a monster game of 45 points and 25 rebounds to tow Magnolia past Terrafirma, 100-92. Also posing challenges in Ayo’s hopes of keeping his record perfect is the dreaded backcourt of the Hotshots of Paul Lee, Mark Barroca and Jio Jalalon.
