QUEZON CITY--NLEX staggered Ginebra in the end to steal a 118-113 win in their PBA Commissioner's Cup duel at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on Friday night.
The Road Warriors pulled away on an 8-0 run in the last 1:25 of the game, the last six coming from Robert Bolick, including the go-ahead three with 45 seconds to go.
Bolick finished with 32 points on 11-of-19 shooting, four rebounds, seven assists, and one steal to lead NLEX, which moved up to 3-1, a half-game behind Rain Or Shine for the top spot.
Cady Lalanne added 28 points, 14 rebounds, two assists, and two steals, while Schonny Winston put up 21 points, three rebounds, one assist, and one steal.
Justin Brownlee exploded for 46 points on 16-of-22 shooting with six rebounds and eight assists, but the vintage game was not enough to keep Ginebra from quickly dropping a loss after its conference-opening win against Macau.
