Summary

Honda were reinforced by Byron "Snake" Jones, who was on his third PBA team after playing for Toyota and U-Tex, and Charles "Buster" Matheney. The Hagibis won their first two games in the Open Conference, spoiling the debut of new team Tefilin, 95-94, in the first game of the season on March 16. Honda scored their second win against Tanduay, 115-97 on March 22. [1] They lost 13 of their remaining 16 games in the elimination phase from thereon.

Honda won their first three outings and raced to a 4-1 won-loss slate in the All-Filipino Conference. The Motorbike Makers lost their last four assignments in the elimination phase and were forced into a playoff against U-Tex for the sixth and last qualifying berth in the round of six. Honda lost to U-Tex in a knockout game on November 13. They dropped all their three matches in the round-robin among the four non-qualifiers in the quarterfinals.

    gollark: All recent computers have extra computers inside them, which have their own probably-basically-unaudited firmware with access to some critical system component or other.
    gollark: Basically, computers don't work and you should run away from them.
    gollark: Android WiFi chipsets have all kinds of fun bugs like that which sometimes allow remote code execution and which will probably just never be patched on lots of phones.
    gollark: That means sacrificing a bunch of nice things. A Linux phone means sacrificing slightly fewer things.
