Blackwater’s Victory Highlights Team Resilience
- Blackwater Bossing secured a morale-boosting 100-92 win over the Phoenix Fuel Masters in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup.
- The team achieved the victory despite missing import player George King, who was sidelined due to an ankle injury, and rookie star Sedrick Barefield.
Key Performances Lead the Way
- Justin Chua led Blackwater with a stellar performance, posting a double-double of 22 points and 11 rebounds.
- Christian David also delivered a double-double, contributing 20 points and 12 rebounds.
- Despite losing a 15-point lead, Blackwater regrouped and executed effectively in the clutch.
Phoenix’s Effort Falls Short
- Donovan Smith led Phoenix with a game-high 32 points, 24 of which came in the first half.
- Jason Perkins added 19 points, but their efforts were insufficient as Phoenix dropped to a 3-8 record.
Next Steps for Both Teams
- Blackwater, now 3-8, will face the NorthPort Batang Pier in their final elimination round game.
