Rain or Shine is looking locked in and ready for the upcoming PBA season after taking down NLEX and Converge in a pair of tune up games.
The Elasto Painters, who have recently welcomed key offseason addition Stanley Pringle to the team, have defeated the FiberXers first with a 114-110 victory over the weekend before escaping the Road Warriors with a 120-119 win just last Tuesday.
The win against NLEX was marred by a near fistfight between ROS big man Beau Belga and Anthony Semerad.
As expected, Adrian Nocum and Jhonard Clarito led the way for Rain or Shine which had big men Keith Datu and Luis Villegas sitting out the tuneup due to minor injuries while also having Beau Belga back in the fold.
The wide-bodied big man was sidelined for the most part of the last season due to vertigo but seemed to have already gotten the green light from his doctors after suiting up for the Elasto Painters in the tuneup game.
For Pringle, meanwhile, it was his first pair of games in ROS uniform since joining the team practice last week.
