Import Eugene Phelps powered Phoenix Petroleum’s 93-81 victory over Blackwater for its fifth win in the Philippine Basketball Association Season 41 Governors’ Cup on Wednesday at the Ynares Sports Center in Antipolo City. “We’ll take this win,” Phoenix coach Ariel Vanguardia told reporters during the postgame interview. Phoenix was leading 19-8 early in the first quarter but Blackwater closed the gap in the second canto, 33-31. The Fuel Masters dominated the Elite in rebound (54-40), three-point shooting (7-5) as well as assists and blocks (5-4).
