King leads Blackwater to 3 straight wins in PBA

George King led Blackwater to a third consecutive win against NLEX in the PBA Governors' Cup on Friday with 39 points, 15 rebounds, and five assists.

King's strong performance has helped increase interest in the team and contributed significantly to their recent turnaround from losing three straight games to winning three consecutive matches.

Coach Jeff Cariaso praised King's professionalism and leadership while emphasizing that local players like Troy Rosario and Sedrick Barefield have also played crucial roles in Blackwater's success.

Barangay Ginebra coach Tim Cone acknowledged that Blackwater's victory over his team on August 30 was not a fluke, as they went on to beat Phoenix and NLEX following the win.

King expressed his anticipation for Tuesday’s rematch against Barangay Ginebra, noting that familiarity with their opponents might give them an edge but also emphasized readiness for competition.
