Bolts all set for EASL battle
MERALCO gears up for battle against a familiar face in the East Asia Super League at the Okinawa Arena on Wednesday.
The Bolts take on defending B.League champion Ryukyu Golden Kings, which has former Meralco import Allen Durham.
Meralco took the spot of Ginebra in the EASL and is seeing action in the home and away league for the first time. The Bolts arrived in Okinawa on Monday.
Cliff Hodge is looking forward to the reunion with Durham.
“We went to battle for years and years, trying to get a championship together. And we always had the unfinished business,” said Hodge in an EASL interview. “And I’m glad that he actually won a championship in Japan last year.”
The Bolts will be reinforced by Prince Ibeh.
