Just give the ball to Robert Bolick and watch him do magic.

NLEX once again leaned on the shoulders of its most reliable gunner with the game on the line as Bolick sank crucial back-to-back three-pointers to stave off erstwhile unbeaten Blackwater, 103-97, in the Philippine Basketball Association Philippine Cup yesterday at the Philsports Arena in Pasig City.

The Road Warriors head into the long break with their third straight win for a 4-1 win-loss record, thanks to Bolick's late-game heroics days after setting a career-high in points.

Protecting a three-point lead, the 28-year-old guard from San Beda University knocked down a triple with the shot clock winding down to give the Road Warriors a 100-94 lead with 45.4 seconds remaining.

Bolick again hit a dagger trey to answer Rey Suerte's triple on the other end to give NLEX another six-point lead in the last 30 seconds that put the Bossing away.

The consecutive treys were Bolick's only points in the fourth quarter. He finished with 21 points and came an assist and a rebound shy of what could have been his second career triple-double.

More than that, it was a fitting follow up to his personal-best 46 points in their previous outing against Converge, 115-93. 

"You know what's good about Bolick, he produces a lot of scores, ranging from 30 to 40 points. Last game he had his career-high. But if you will take a look at the assist department, Bolick is also good at passing the ball," NLEX assistant coach Borgie Hermida said.
