MANILA, Philippines — Natakasan ng Rain or Shine ang Meralco, 109-102, para solohin ang li­de­rato ng Season 50 PBA Commissioner’s Cup kaha­pon sa Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Umiskor si point guard Felix Lemetti ng team-high 23 points para tulungan ang Elasto Painters na ipinta ang 3-0 record.

Nagdagdag si Adrian No­com ng 17 markers, habang may 12 points at anim na rebounds si Christian Ma­naytay na sumalo sa tra­­baho ni import Jaylen Johnson na nagsilbi ng kanyang one-game suspension mula sa suntukan nila ni Glenn Khobuntin ng TNT Tropang 5G.

“Psychologically, we had the upperhand pla­ying with nothing to loose actually, expectations going against us winning the game,” wika ni coach Yeng Guiao.

“The guys were just pla­ying as hard as they can. It’s sheer toughness. We played with a lot of toughness,” dagdag nito.

Bumanat si Chris Newsome ng game-high 29 points sa panig ng Bolts na may 2-1 baraha ngayon at nakahugot kay seven-foot import Marvin Jones ng 17 markers at 16 rebounds.

Mula sa 29-23 abante sa first period ay itinayo ng Rain or Shine ang 45-28 ben­tahe sa 5:05 minuto ng second quarter.

Sa likod ni Jason Brickman ay nakalapit ang Me­ralco sa pagtatapos ng third period, 76-80, hanggang ma­kadikit sa 94-95 sa hu­ling apat na minuto ng final canto.

Ngunit isang 14-3 atake ang inilunsad ng Elasto Painters para muling makalayo sa 108-97.

Samantala, lalabanan ng San Miguel si import Bol Bol at ang TNT ngayong alas-7:30 ng gabi sa Big Dome.
