NLEX showed Meralco it can also make its own immediate transformation from cellar dweller to legitimate title contender as it held off its sister team, 100-94, to get back on the winning track in the PBA Governors’ Cup on Sunday night at the Mall of Asia Arena.
The Road Warriors bucked a slow start with a solid showing in the middle quarters, before proving steadier in the endgame against the Bolts to deal their victims their first loss in five games.
Aaron Fuller delivered another workmanlike effort with 25 points, 18 boards, and two blocks, while Kevin Alas, Larry Fonacier, and JR Quinahan all thrived in a bench role this time to lead the Road Warriors, who proved their road loss to Ginebra was a fluke as they jacked up their record to 5-1.
