    Mike Harris Magnolia vs Phoenix

    Phoenix dropped to 4-3, snapping a two-game winning streak.

    Playing in only his third game in a Hotshots jersey, Wong shot the lights out, converting six out of seven three-point attempts in the game. He had three triples in the third as Magnolia outscored Phoenix, 36-20, in the quarter.

    Wong’s contributions was a welcome sight with Calvin Abueva and Rome Dela Rosa still out with injuries.

    “That’s that we talked about, the next man up. ‘Yung bata naman talaga, meron ‘yan eh. We asked him to play defense. We asked him to guard the best player in the other side. And he did a good job. Bonus na lang ‘yung he contributed a lot on offense,” said Victolero.

    Paul Lee had 14 points, six rebounds, five assists, and three steals, while Mark Barroca had 13 points and seven assists as the Hotshots led by as many as 25 points.

    Matthew Wright had 18 points, and Billy Ray Robles added 15 but import Dominique Sutton only had nine points for the Fuel Masters.
