Phoenix punches 1st win, beats Blackwater

MANILA, Philippines — Phoenix showed the much-needed poise in the face of Blackwater's searing rally to end its winless spell, 119-114 for its first win in the PBA Season 49 Governors' Cup on Sunday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

RR Garcia fired 16 of his 20 points in the last period as the veteran guard provided the needed leadership for the Fuel Masters, who finally ended their seven-game losing streak to start the season.
