It was the Road Warriors’ second straight win, equaling a franchise-best start of 2-0 under Boyet Fernandez in last season’s Philippine Cup. NLEX almost squandered a 27-point lead (78-51) as Picanto staged a late rally before the Road Warriors turned to Kevin Alas and import Aaron Fuller late in the game to preserve the victory. Markeith Cummings led all scorers with 30 points on top of 15 rebounds to lead Kia, which dropped to 0-2. Glenn Khobuntin and Chito Jaime tallied 15 and 13 points, respectively, for the Picanto.
