NLEX almost pulled off a monumental upset, digging its way back from being down by 29 but the Road Warriors’ furious fightback proved to be a little too late.
Drawing huge contributions from Michel Madanly, Asi Taulava, Mac Cardona, and KG Canaleta, coach Boyet Fernandez might be feeling a bit of a relief seeing the fight from his veterans. But it should take more than just that to help the squad get out of the bottom four.
