Magnolia notched its second straight win in the PBA Season 50 Commissioner’s Cup by sending the once-hot Terrafirma skidding through a 85-70 come-from-behind victory on Tuesday evening at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.
The Hotshots turned it around late in the third quarter before pulling away for good in the deciding chapter on the way to stringing together their first winning streak after starting the midseason conference with three successive losses.
Clint Chapman led the way with 28 points, 11 rebounds, and three assists as the veteran internationalist continued to be the driving force behind the turnaround. He also had a steal and two blocks for a full line in 34 minutes.
Zav Lucero made 13 points and eight rebounds while Rome Dela Rosa chipped in 11 points and six rebounds plus two steals and a block in a turnover-less performance to help Magnolia improve to 2-3 in the standings.
