Marqus Blakely led Blackwater Elite in their recent 95-89 win over the Magnolia Hotshots earlier this week in the 2019 PBA Governors’ Cup at the Ynares Center in Antipolo City.
Blakely finished with a double-double on 21 points and 13 rebounds, while Rey Mark Belo added 20 markers, Michael Digregorio – 15, and Rabeh Al-Hussaini – 12.
The American shooting guard made his presence felt for the Elite in the opening half as he led the squad to a 47-40 halftime edge.
Blackwater went up by as much as 10 points in the second half but the Hotshots went on to narrow the gap to 90-87. However, free throws by Blakely and Parks restored order for the Elite./ASC, WDJ
