Magnolia defeated skidding Blackwater, 81-77, to claim its third straight win and enhance its chances for a top 4 finish in the elimination round of the PBA Philippine Cup Wednesday at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium in Malate, Manila.

Engaged in a 34-34 standoff, the Hotshots leaned on Jio Jalalon and James Laput's third quarter exploits as the duo combined to score 14 of the team's 22 points to give Magnolia a 56-45 lead.
