Mocon stars as NLEX boots out his former team Phoenix
Javee Mocon scored 23 points, 9 rebounds, and 3 assists to lead the NLEX Road Warriors to a 105-95 victory over the Phoenix Fuel Masters in the PBA Philippine Cup.
The win eliminated the Fuel Masters from playoff contention, ending their conference.
Mocon, who was traded from Phoenix to NLEX last year for Ato Ular and a future second-round pick, stated that he has a chip on his shoulder and plays to prove his value to himself.
His performance included 13 of NLEX's 25 fourth-quarter points, crucial in securing the win.
This marks a significant performance for Mocon shortly after signing a contract extension with NLEX.
The victory improved NLEX's record to 7-3, bolstering their chances for a twice-to-beat playoff advantage.
