PBA Philippine Cup,Philippine Basketball Association,PBA Season 48

Meralco overcame the hot hands of Robert Bolick to deny NLEX, 97-93, in Game 1 of their best-of-three quarterfinals affair in the PBA Philippine Cup on Friday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

The Bolts shrugged off a slow start before Allen Maliksi took over with 22 points off the bench, alongside four rebounds and an assist as they moved on the verge of a semifinals appearance. Meralco trailed for most of the first half, but regrouped just in time to spoil a career-high 48-point detonation from Bolick, who also grabbed four rebounds and five assists in the loss.

com/ayHYFvVhc3— JK Carandang May 10, 2024 The Road Warriors, however, failed to convert any more field goals after that as Maliksi steadily sank four straight free throws that proved to be the dagger the Bolts needed to close out NLEX. Bolick would still attempt for a last-gasp three-pointer from the logo, but he missed out as well.
