The Meralco Bolts look to surge further in the PBA Philippine Cup, targeting a third straight win against early leader Magnolia.
Chris Newsome and the Meralco Bolts look to ride their growing momentum when they take on the unbeaten Magnolia Hotshots in the PBA Season 50 Philippine Cup on Sunday, October 19.
Gametime is 7:30 p.m. at the Ynares Center in Montalban.
The Bolts are on a roll after back-to-back wins, capped by an impressive 89-75 comeback victory over Barangay Ginebra.
Meralco rallied from a 16-point deficit before erupting for a decisive 33-14 fourth-quarter surge to stun their long-time rivals.
Newsome led the charge with 19 points, while CJ Cansino continued his strong form with 18 markers in the win.
Now at 2-2, Meralco hopes to sustain its rhythm and extend its winning streak to three against the undefeated Hotshots.
A win would not only give the Bolts a winning record but also send a strong message that Meralco remains a serious contender this conference.
