Rain or Shine snapped a three-game skid Sunday morning with an 82-71 win over Blackwater in the PBA Philippine Cup at the Angeles University Foundation Sports and Cultural Center.
Sixteen hours removed from a loss to the Magnolia Hotshots Pambansang Manok, the Elasto Painters buckled down to work and leaned on a third quarter breakaway to stay inside the playoff race with a 5-4 record.
Javee Mocon had 19 points and 13 rebounds while Beau Belga scored all of his 14 points in the third as Rain or Shine won despite losing Rey Nambatac to a sprained right ankle in the first quarter.
