MANILA, Philippines: Blackwater outworked and out hustled Converge all night long to gift new coach Jeff Cariaso a winning debut via its 103-84 win to kick off its PBA Season 48 Commissioner's Cup campaign on a high note on Wednesday, November 8 at the Philsports Arena in Pasig.
Puerto Rican import Chris Ortiz led the Bossing's blazing season debut, leading his team with a do-it-all stats line of 21 points, 11 rebounds, six assists, three steals and two blocks.'I've always imagined Chris Ortiz playing the way he did tonight, just him being versatile,' said Cariaso, who faced his former team and emerged triumphant.
The soft-spoken Blackwater mentor said he may have played against his former team in his coaching debut for the Bossing, but he was candid enough to admit that his focus has simply been his new squad.'It always feels good just to win. Nothing personal whoever we face and tonight, it was Converge but we were blessed with a victory,' he said. 'Still a lot of hard work to be done at this stage.
