Rain or Shine beats Barako Bull, enters wildcard phase

MANILA, Philippines – Denied of earning an outright semis entry, Rain or Shine vented its ire over Barako Bull dealing the Energy Boosters a 96-88 loss to earn a quarterfinal spot in the Motolite-PBA Fiesta Cup Wednesday night at the Araneta Coliseum. The Elasto Painters, the no.3 seeded team after the elimination round, led from the start and never gave the Energy Boosters the chance to score an upset in order to avoid going through a knock-out match for the wildcard berth. Rain or Shine could have earned an automatic semis berth but suffered a 114-71 beating at the hands of defending champion Barangay Ginebra last Sunday. – GMANews.TV
