Magnolia overcame Rain or Shine, 81-70, to draw first blood in their 2021 Honda PBA Philippine Cup best-of-three quarterfinal series, Sunday at the Don Honorio Ventura State University Gym in Bacolor, Pampanga.
Paul Lee spearheaded the Hotshots with 20 points, including the dagger three-pointer with 44.0 seconds left to put away the Elasto Painters for good after trimming a 13-point deficit to just four early in the fourth quarter.
Lee also had four rebounds and three assists in a game that saw him shrug off a welt under his right eye that he got off a contact in the second period.
