Rain or Shine secured their fifth consecutive win in the PBA Commissioner's Cup by defeating Blackwater 122-106.

Import Deon Thompson led the Elasto Painters with 25 points and 16 rebounds, while Adrian Nocum and Santi Santillan provided significant offensive support.

Despite building a large early lead, Rain or Shine experienced a lapse in the third quarter before Nocum helped them pull away.

The win marked Rain or Shine's fifth straight, improving their record to 5-1 and positioning them to contend for a quarterfinals berth.

Coach Yeng Guiao estimates that seven wins will be enough to secure a spot in the next round, and the team aims to achieve this as soon as possible.

Rain or Shine is set to face Phoenix in their next game, looking to extend their winning streak to six.

Anton Asistio and Caelan Tiongson also contributed to the win against Blackwater, although Tiongson left the game in the third quarter due to an ankle sprain.
