Last 1 December, the Meralco Bolts gave a rousing welcome to the beginning of the month by outlasting Rain or Shine, 121-111, in a grindout all-Filipino showdown in the PBA 49th Season Commissioner’s Cup at the Ynares Center.
Unfortunately for the Bolkts, they lost their impport Akil Mitchell in a freak elbow to the nose just 11 seconds into the game. Head coach Luigi Trillo says the early exit of import Akil Mitchell helped rallied the team to secure the win.
Action also got heated even in the sidelines with Meralco active consultant Nenad Vucinic, Rain or Shine head coach Yeng Guiao, and player Beau Belga getting into a verbal argument at the 8:10-mark of the fourth quarter. All three were given technical fouls.
Chris Newsome scored 21 of his game-high 25 in the first half then Bong Quinto (20 points), Jansen Rios (16), Norbert Torres (13), Raymond Almazan (12) and Cliff Hodge (11) also lit it up, helping one another to foil Rain or Shine's bid for a win in its conference debut.
