Bolick, who earned the league’s PBA Press Corps-Pilipinas Live Player of the Week plum, powered the Road Warriors to victories over Meralco and Converge to bring the squad on a 3-1 record.

Yet, Bolick didn’t dwell upon his newest career feat, saying the win was more important.

“All I’m really thinking of is the win. The career-high is just an individual thing but this is a team sport. I’m happy that we won and I’m happy because my teammates were there to play,” said the former Northport star.
