NAGBUHOS si rookie Trevis Jackson ng 18 points mula sa bench upang pangunahan ang Meralco sa 99-94 panalo laban sa Blackwater sa PBA Philippine Cup kagabi sa Ynares Center sa Antipolo.
Sa panalo ay umangat ang Meralco sa 1-1 kartada, habang bumagsak ang Blackwater sa 0-2.
“I’m very happy we’re able to bounce back in this game after suffering a very painful loss to Phoenix,” wika ni Meralco coach Norman Black.
“A lot of guys I felt really stepped up and helped us tonight led by Trevis who made a lot of good outside shots for us and helped us open up (Blackwater’s) defense,” sabi pa ni Black.
Si Jackson, naglaro sa Division I basketball sa US NCAA, ang nasa likod din ng tres na nagkalas sa Meralco sa Elite, may 5:18 ang nalalabi sa orasan.
Na-outscore ng bench ng Meralco ang Blackwater, 47-27, kung saan anim sa players ng Bolts ang nagtala ng double digits.
Naging sandigan din ng Bolts ang kanilang depensa para maungusan ang Elite.
“For our second game in a row, our defense is pretty solid, our only problem right now is how to shore up our rebounding because we’re getting a lot of stops but we’re giving up a lot of defensive rebounds at the same time,” ani Black.
Samantala, magsasagupa ang sister teams San Miguel Beer at Barangay Ginebra, habang magpapambuno ang NLEX at NorthPort sa pagbabalilk ng aksiyon ngayon sa Araneta Coliseum.
