Magnolia fanned its quarterfinal hopes in the PBA Season 50 Commissioner’s Cup following a 106-84 victory over a hopeless Titan Ultra side for a dominant bounce-back at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium on Wednesday evening.
The Hotshots pulled away behind a 34-point second quarter for a commanding 61-41 lead at the half before cruising to the win that put them back on track after bowing to Rain or Shine in an emotionally charged affair last Sunday.
Coach LA Tenorio and his charges improved to an even .500 in the conference standings, in the process regaining the no. 7 spot from San Miguel Beer.
A total of five players finished in twin digits in the triumph, with Clint Chapman leading the way with 31 points, eight rebounds, and six assists.
