ANTIPOLO — Phoenix kept its PBA Philippine Cup playoff hopes alive following a 106-98 victory over Blackwater Saturday night at the Ynares Center here.
Jason Perkins, Tyler Tio, and Ricci Rivero joined hands for the strong windup as the Fuel Masters had to repel a late-game Bossing surge on the way to snapping their six-game losing skid and earn just their third win of the tilt.
By improving to 3-6, Coach Willy Wilson’s charges have gained a share of the ninth spot in the team standings with Titan Ultra, moving two games behind Meralco and Ginebra who are at no. 7 and 8, respectively, with 3-4 records.
Perkins starred in the triumph with 33 points.
