The KaTropa is looking for a much commanding series lead at 3-1 while the Beermen wanted to reduce the series to best-of-three when the 2019 PBA Commissioner’s Cup Finals resumes this evening at the Big Dome.

There was an instance where Jones threw a head-butt on Ross. He got whistled for a flagrant foul penalty 1 but later after the Commissioner’s Office review, it got upgraded to penalty 2 and a fine of P20,000.

“We can’t come out like that. Everybody’s got to be ready. Everybody’s got to be on the same page mentally,”
