Bolts 78, Hotshots 76

The Meralco Bolts has swept all of its games for the week, dealing Magnolia its first defeat, 78-76, last 19 October in the PBA 50th Season Philippine Cup at the Ynares Center II.

CJ Cansino scored a career-high 23 points for Meralco. His jumper with 31.2 seconds left gave the Bolts back the lead at 73-72 after Zavier Lucero scored back-to-back threes to put Magnolia on top after a long chase.

Bolts 89, Ginebra 75

The Meralco Bolts showed resiliency in the final half, overcoming a flat start and turning back the Barangay Ginebra Gin Kings, 89-75, in the PBA Season 50 Philippine Cup at the Smart Araneta Coliseum last 17 October.

Chris Newsome, CJ Cansino and Bong Quinto were the catalysts as the Bolts fought back from 12 points down at the half and chalked up a second straight win while sending the Gin Kings to a 1-2 season start.

Bolts 105, Bossing 96

Meralco Bolts leaned on Chris Newsome's steadying presence to withstand Blackwater and notch its first victory of the season with a 105-96 win last 15 October in the PBA Philippine Cup at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Newsome scored 10 of his 22 points inside the last 8:21 of the game that restored order in the Bolts camp after the Bossing came fighting back from as much as a 24-point deficit to threaten within 81-84.

Allein Maliksi Hopes To Stay Healthy This Time

Allein Maliksi was the key reason on why the Meralco Bolts won the Philippine Cup title during the 48th Season of the PBA. The team failed to defend their title after he got injured. In the 50th season, the 38-year old sharpshooter is determined to stay healthy and remain a key piece for Meralco.

Maliksi had more time playing the role of cheerleader than being on the hardcourt after undergoing surgery to remove bone spurs in his knee before being bothered by a back injury.

Bolts 96, Titan Ultra 100

Calvin Abueva fired a career-high 41 points and was in the middle of some clutch plays in the stretch that led Titan Ultra to a resounding PBA debut with a 100-96 decision over Meralco last 8 October at the start of their Philippine Cup campaign at the Ynares Center in Antipolo.

The player known throughout his career as "the Beast" lived up to said moniker in the last three quarters, enabling the Giant Risers to buck a slow start, lead by as many as 19 points and hold off the Bolts' last-ditch uprising in the endgame.
