Blackwater Bossing is determined to transform into a competitive force in the PBA Season 50 Commissioner’s Cup under the guidance of head coach Patrick Aquino. In their recent matchup against the defending champions, TNT Tropang 5G, the Bossing showcased their potential, narrowly losing 99-94 at the Ynares Center in Antipolo. Despite the defeat, Aquino believes this game is a stepping stone towards building a winning culture within the team. Aquino, who has a successful coaching history, including leading National University to six consecutive UAAP titles, emphasized the importance of utilizing their top draft picks to maximize the team's performance. The game saw Blackwater trailing until a late surge led by Sedrick Barefield and Dalph Panopio, who combined for a significant 18-6 run, bringing the score to 94-95 with just 44 seconds left. Although Barefield missed two crucial three-point attempts, Aquino remains optimistic about the team's growth and adaptation to his coaching style. He aims to instill a winning mentality in Blackwater Bossing, ensuring that every player receives ample playing time and opportunities to contribute. With a focus on teamwork and player development, Aquino is committed to elevating Blackwater Bossing's status in the league.
