ICYMI: Antonio Hester delivers all-around numbers in his Magnolia debut as the Hotshots notch their first win after a 0-3 start with former import Eric McCree. PBA
MANILA, Philippines – An import switch paid dividends for Magnolia as it broke through in the PBA Governors’ Cup with a 108-95 win against Phoenix anchored by Antonio Hester at the Mall of Asia Arena on Friday, February 10.
“We just needed a game changer like Hes so we can turn things around,” said Hotshots head coach Chito Victolero of Hester, whose last PBA stint came with Terrafirma in the Governors’ Cup last season. Catching fire from deep, Ahanmisi unloaded all of his 12 points – all from three-pointers – in a 29-9 run that allowed Magnolia to pull away after ending the opening period with a slim 23-21 lead.
Jason Perkins showed the way for Phoenix with 20 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists in the loss that dropped the Fuel Masters to 1-5 for 10th place in the 12-team league.
