Here are the results of the PBA games scheduled on February 6, 2019 (Wednesday).

After their below average performance in their 44th PBA season debut, the Aces immediately made a bounce back game.
All of the quarters were won by Alaska as they prevented any comeback attempt from the Dyip.
Carl Bryan Cruz took advantage the absence of their key player Vic Manuel who is unavailable due to injury.
CBC scored 20 points and had nine rebounds but it was an entire team effort which gave them the victory according to coach Alex Compton.
“I thought they all played hard,” said Compton.
“I really appreciate my guys’ efforts. I thought pretty much the whole game, of course there were spots, but I thought pretty much the whole game we were energetic, all over the place, covering grounds, getting to the loose ball. The things that really matter.”
