Meralco head coach Luigi Trillo said the team needs to make the necessary adjustments as the Bolts merely escaped with a 97-93 win on Friday, May 10, after Bolick put the Road Warriors on his back with a career-high 48 points. “We’re not pleased with the way we played him,” Trillo added. “We know it is going to be harder. We’re capable of closing it out but we really respect Robert Bolick and we have a lot of things to fix.”
A tough layup by Bolick with 1:05 minutes left allowed the Road Warriors to take a 93-92 lead, but Meralco closed it out on a 5-0 blitz highlighted by four free throws from Maliksi. Raymond Almazan backstopped Maliksi with 15 points and 6 rebounds, while Anjo Caram rose to the occasion with 14 points on a spotless 4-of-4 shooting from three-point land.
