Another win has been added to Meralco Bolts' record as they try to crack a spot in the playoffs this conference. Allen Durham became the ship's captain of the game as he showed another fantastic performance and listed 31 points, 17 boards and dished 5 assists to end the game with the help of their back up point guard Baser Amer coming off the bench who made 7 straight points during the last two minutes of the pay off period.


Meralco who have lost a couple or more games against their sister team NLEX road Warriors finally forced a victory. "This was a really good team effort on our part today", Norman Black said. As they improve their record in this conference at 5-3, the chances of the squad to move up in the standings are high in terms of making it to the playoff phase of the last conference of this season.
