The Road Warriors (2-1) are coming off an 87-81 victory over Phoenix, a win that saw Kevin Alas turn back the clock with his best outing in recent memory.
The veteran guard, who has endured three ACL injuries in his career, erupted for 26 points to power NLEX past the Fuel Masters.
Bolick also made his season debut after missing the first two games to attend to his father’s passing in the United States.
The star playmaker was quick to make an impact, flirting with a triple-double after posting nine points, seven rebounds, nine assists, and two steals.
With Bolick expected to be in better shape, coach Jong Uichico's squad is poised for a strong showing as they aim to climb the standings.
Standing in their way are the resurgent Meralco Bolts (3-2), who have won three straight after a rocky 0-2 start.
Fresh off a narrow 78-76 win over Magnolia, Meralco’s confidence is high — setting up an intriguing showdown between two teams eager to make a statement.
