“We’ve definitely been here before, but the result didn’t pan out the way we wanted to,” said Newsome, who saw the Bolts bow to Barangay Ginebra in the 2016 and 2021 Governors’ Cup finals despite starting both series up 2-1. Leading by example, Newsome saved the day for Meralco with key buckets down the stretch and finished with a season-high 26 points on top of 4 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals.
“That’s Meralco basketball for you. It’s not just about one person. It’s about the whole team that feeds each other’s confidence,” said Newsome. Fajardo still finished with a double-double of 12 points and 5 rebounds, but he committed a season-high 7 turnovers and attempted just a season-low-tying 5 field goals in over 40 minutes of play.
