MANILA, Philippines – Thanks to Matthew Wright, Phoenix has suddenly righted its campaign in the PBA Commissioner’s Cup. With the 28-year-old Wright producing import-like numbers, the Fuel Masters have won back-to-back games to climb at the .500 mark and stay in contention for a berth in the eight-team playoffs. Wright had 28 points, five rebounds, and six assists as the Fuel Masters toppled erstwhile leader NorthPort, 97-87. But Wright reserved his best against Barangay Ginebra, erupting for 32 points to rally back Phoenix from a 14-point deficit to eke out a 111-103 victory. The twin victories evened the Fuel Masters’ record at 4-4 as they climbed in the middle of the standings entering the homestretch of the eliminations.
