MANILA, Philippines—When Robert Bolick wants something, he apparently gets it.

On Saturday at Araneta Coliseum, NLEX routed Converge, 115-93, behind Bolick’s new career high–something he didn’t even realize he was gunning for until the latter part of the game.

“That’s the best. This whole basketball thing is nothing compared to that. I prayed so hard for our baby to be a boy and it’s a boy,” said an ecstatic Bolick after the post-game conference.

“I have that on the way so of course, that’s an inspiration to me. I’m happy that she’s (Cassandra) there and she’s safe with our baby. Only a few months to go until the baby comes.”
