BIÑAN, Laguna – NLEX compounded the misery of Star with a 106-99 decision in their PBA Commissioner’s Cup road game at the Alonte Sports Arena on Saturday night.
Al Thornton showed his NBA pedigree anew, but it was Garvo Lanete and Jonas Villanueva who hit the biggest baskets down the stretch as the Road Warriors likewise pounced on the miscues of the Hotshots to prevail.
NLEX hiked its win-loss record to 2-1, while keeping the Hotshots after three starts.
“We’re glad that we’re done with the Hotshots,” Road Warriors coach Boyet Fernandez said. “With their lineup, I’m sure they’ll bounce back.”
