On a night much of the attention was on Justin Baltazar and his much-awaited PBA debut, Joshua Munzon wrote himself on the headlines instead.
The former top overall pick once again nailed the biggest of shots in crunch time to help NorthPort take down Converge, 108-101, to go 5-0 in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup on Thursday at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.
Awarded with the Player of the Week citation for the period Dec. 3-8 by the PBA Press Corps, Munzon finished with 30 points, none more important than the back-to-back threes he hit for the 103-97 lead with 1:45 left to play.
Eventually, he would earn Player of the Game honors for the third consecutive outing as his exploits helped the Batang Pier stay atop the standings.
