Calvin Abueva becomes the 96th player in PBA history to reach the scoring milestone as he drops a season-high in points for Magnolia.
MANILA, Philippines – Calvin Abueva joined the 5,000-point club and catapulted Magnolia to a 110-95 romp of Blackwater in the PBA Governors’ Cup at the Ynares Center in Antipolo on Wednesday, March 8.
The 35-year-old then turned it up a notch in the third period, where he and import Antonio Hester combined for 17 of the Hotshots’ 39 points in the quarter as they built a commanding 87-66 cushion. The Hotshots are tied with Meralco at fifth place, a spot behind the top-four finish that merits a win-once incentive in the quarterfinals.
Although the first team to be eliminated from contention, the Bossing looked to play spoiler in the standings by erecting a blazing 23-8 run highlighted by seven triples to narrow the gap to 89-95 with six minutes left.
