ANTIPOLO — Meralco sustained its winning ways after dealing Phoenix its first loss of the PBA Season 50 Commissioner’s Cup by way of a 93-86 victory on Saturday night at the Ynares Center here.
The Bolts leaned on the usual suspects and Javee Mocon to pull away in the fourth quarter on the way to netting their second victory in as many games, all while stopping the Fuel Masters who were erstwhile unbeaten at 2-0.
Acquired from NLEX via trade, the versatile wing gave themselves the lead for good by going perfect from the line to break a 77-all deadlock.
Aaron Black and Chris Banchero came through shortly after, before Bong Quinto knocked down a key four-pointer to push their lead to 89-78 with less than five minutes left as the quartet strung together a 12-1 run to put it away.
