Blackwater shoots for solo lead when it faces crowd-favorite Barangay Ginebra San Miguel at 7 p.m. tonight in Season 44 Philippine Basketball Association Commissioner’s Cup at the Araneta Coliseum.

The Elite, under rookie coach Aries Dimaunahan, are coming off a close 94-91 overtime win over Meralco in last Sunday’s opening game when they collide with the Gin Kings, led by last year’s Best Import Justin Brownlee.
