Dionisio lights up Magnolia’s scoreboard
Aris Dionisio set a franchise record with nine three-pointers en route to a career-high 30 points, leading Magnolia to a dominant 110-94 victory over NorthPort in the PBA Governors' Cup.
His exceptional shooting performance, including a 9-of-11 clip from the trifecta, propelled Magnolia to a significant early lead, allowing them to control the game throughout.
Dionisio's 82 percent three-point shooting percentage tied the all-time highest percentage for a player making at least nine triples in a game.
Magnolia coach Chito Victolero expects Dionisio to play a bigger role as the team's designated sniper in the upcoming playoffs.
Magnolia's win eliminated NorthPort from playoff contention, with both teams playing without their imports as Shabazz Muhammad was given a day off to rest an injured knee.
The Hotshots improved their record to 5-4, solidifying their position in the quarterfinals of Group A.
