Robert Lee Bolick NLX PG 14 PTS | 4 REB | 5 AST | 32.3 FPS
The NLEX star once again delivered, providing quality all-around production in limited minutes. He was effective from two-point range and finished the game without a single turnover.

Kobey Lam MGP SG 22 PTS | 8 REB | 7 AST | 32.1 FPS
Stepping up huge for the undermanned Giant Pandas, the guard finished among the game’s top scorers and nearly recorded a triple-double.

Louelljay Gonzales NLX PG 10 PTS | 3 AST | 4 STL | 29.1 FPS
The rookie guard just keeps getting it done, putting up another productive offensive game alongside a new career-high in steals. In terms of scoring, he remains highly effective, averaging 3.4 makes on 4.9 two-point attempts through ten games this conference.

Richie Rodger NLX SG 7 REB | 3 AST | 3 STL | 20.9 FPS
Despite seeing limited playing time this conference, Rodger showed that he’s still capable of making a positive impact. Though he ended up scoreless today, he made up for it in other ways, finishing second in rebounding while leading all players in steals.
Anthony Paul Semerad NLX PF 10 PTS | 2 AST | 13.0 FPS

Calvin John Oftana TNT SG 31 PTS | 6 REB | 7 3PM
Oftana made his return to the lineup after missing the first eight games of the conference with an injury and made his presence felt instantly. He came out blazing with 16 first‑half points and finished strong, exploding for a game-high 31 points with seven triples to power TNT to a much-needed win.
Maverick Ahanmisi TER PG 27 PTS
The sharpshooting veteran took charge of Terrafirma’s offense, converting from all over the court to finish with both a team-high and a new conference-high in scoring. Offensively, Ahanmisi has reached new heights this conference, posting at least 19 points five times.
Justin Anthony Strings TER C 25 PTS
Offensively, this was a step down from his previous performances. Still, he remains one of the best scoring imports in the league and should continue to put up far stronger numbers for the rest of the conference.
Nick Hornsby TNT PF 26 PTS
TNT’s new reinforcement delivered an impressive debut, showcasing his scoring prowess right out of the gate. He dropped 15 of his points in the first half to finish second on the team in scoring.

Shaun Geoffrey Chiu TER C 4 PTS
