Blackwater snaps a seven-game skid dating back to last conference despite frittering away a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter against Phoenix. PBA
RIZAL, Philippines – Blackwater almost shot itself in the foot with missed free throws late but held on to a 108-105 win over Phoenix in the PBA Governors’ Cup to snap a months-long skid at the Ynares Center on Friday, January 27.
The Fuel Masters used a 29-18 run capped by a Tyler Tio bucket in the fourth quarter to erase a 69-79 deficit and seize a 98-97 lead with under two minutes remaining. The Bossing kept the comeback door ajar after missing 3 of its 10 free throws in the final 30 seconds, with Glover splitting his foul shots for a 108-105 edge with six ticks left, but Phoenix failed to capitalize.
