Bolick, Henry power NLEX past Blackwater in Governors' Cup opener

Robert Bolick's near triple-double performance led the NLEX Road Warriors to a dominant 104-87 victory over the Blackwater Bossing in their PBA Season 49 Governors' Cup opener.

This win marked the first for multi-time champion Jong Uichico in his return as a PBA head coach after an eight-year hiatus, which he admitted to feeling pressure about.

Bolick contributed 24 points, 9 rebounds, and 11 assists, dedicating his performance to Coach Uichico and expressing happiness that their offseason work proved effective.

NLEX import Myke Henry also made a strong PBA debut with 31 points and 10 rebounds, helping the Road Warriors establish a significant lead.

Despite a late 13-0 run by Blackwater that narrowed the gap, NLEX maintained control to secure the victory.
