Rain or Shine banked on import Joel Wright to weather tough-fighting Columbian, 96-90, in the PBA Governors’ Cup in Sunday night’s curtain-raiser at Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Wright scored seven of the Elasto Painters’ last nine points down the stretch to finish with a game-high 30 points that went with 10 rebounds.

“He’s a good import, but we still need him to play longer minutes,” coach Caloy Garcia said of his reinforcement who delivered despite grappling with foul trouble early.

Good thing for the Painters, their locals–especially their second unit–filled the hole in the third quarter when Wright was benched due to fouls.

Rey Nambatac scored 20 points, while Javee Mocon and Mark Borboran tossed in 10 and nine off the bench to help Rain or Shine get back on track after a narrow loss to NorthPort also last Friday.
