Under new coach Charles Tiu, Phoenix is off to a great start in the PBA Season 50 Commissioner's Cup.
Undermanned and all, Phoenix didn’t have any problems drubbing Titan Ultra, 109-76, in their PBA Season 50 Commissioner’s Cup duel on Sunday, March 15.
Missing established stars Tyler Tio (ankle) and Jason Perkins (Achilles), the Fuel Masters banked on Ricci Rivero and import James Dickey to nab their second win in as many outings.
Rivero finished with 18 points, nine rebounds, four assists, and two steals, while the energetic Dickey put up 17 points, 17 rebounds, six assists, four steals, and four blocks.
