Magnolia hopped back on the winning path before an out-of-the-country match against Rain or Shine in the PBA Season 50 Philippine Cup.
After a disappointing loss to Converge the last time out, Magnolia vented its ire on erstwhile co-leader NLEX, 98-82, in the PBA Season 50 Philippine Cup Sunday night, Dec. 7.
The Hotshots made their intention to bounce back big time known early on, blazing to a 23-7 start before cruising to a sixth win in nine games for a share of fourth with their foe.
