Meralco survived a huge fightback from Rain or Shine in the second half to eke out a 107-102 victory for a winning start in the 2023 PBA Commissioner’s Cup at the PhilSports Arena on Wednesday, Nov. 8.
Braimoh made sure to turn heads in his PBA debut, dropping a double-double of 34 points and 14 rebounds – including a booming triple that doused a late 10-2 spurt from Rain or Shine and kept a 100-95 cushion for Meralco. Rain or Shine, which trailed by as many as 13 points at the half, remained within striking distance with a gutsy pull-up triple from Andrei Caracut cut the lead down to just three, 105-102, with 28 seconds left.
The veteran gunner then coolly sank the two free throws that sealed the deal for Meralco with 18 seconds left to also finish with 16 points across his name.
