Magnolia kept its record unblemished at 5-0 as it thwarted NorthPort behind Nick Rakocevic. PBA
MANILA, Philippines – Magnolia kept its record unblemished in the PBA Commissioner’s Cup as it thwarted NorthPort in a 109-91 win at the Araneta Coliseum on Sunday, October 16.
Rakocevic set the tone in the rout by unloading 10 points in the opening quarter to help Magnolia prop up a 30-20 lead, which doubled at the end of the third period. Mark Barroca chalked up 13 points and 8 assists, Jio Jalalon finished with 10 points, 7 assists, and 4 steals, while Jerrick Ahanmisi netted 10 points.
As the Hotshots thrived on offense, their fifth straight win had a lot to do with their vaunted defense as they kept key Batang Pier players from being effective.
