Meralco solid defense holds Magnolia to franchise low output

MANILA, Philippines: Meralco leaned on its unforgiving defense to hold Magnolia its lowest output in franchise history via a 74-51 victory on Sunday in the PBA 48th Season Philippine Cup at the Philsports Arena.

The Bolts' defensive clamps were so effective that they held the Hotshots to just 17.9 percent field goal shooting in the halftime.
