PBA: NLEX sinks Magnolia to 0-2 to remain spotless in PBA Commissioner's Cup

NLEX pulled away late to eke out a 112-105 win against Magnolia and remain unscathed early in the PBA Season 50 Commissioner's Cup on Sunday at the Ynares Center Montalban. 

Import Cady Lallane starred with a double-double outing of 24 points and 11 rebounds laced with two assist, three blocks, one steal as the Road Warriors raced to a 2-0 card while the Hotshots fell to a 0-2 record. 

Schonny Winston, Robert Bolick, and JB Bahio all chipped in 14 points each while LJ Gonzales and Kevin Alas chimed in with 13 markers apiece. 

NLEX turned a slim 89-87 lead to a 99-93 cushion after Bolick knocked down a jumper halfway through the fourth quarter before his triple made it a 102-94 lead. 

Lallane then sank a dunk before burying a jumper for a 108-100 lead with still 2:04 remaining. A dunk from Winston and a split from Bolick sealed it for NLEX, which was coming off a narrow 84-81 win over Blackwater last Friday. 

Anunwa Omot paced the Hotshots with 32 points, nine rebounds, and six assists while Jerom Lastimosa and Rome Dela Rosa chipped in 23 and 17 markers each.
