DAVAO CITY – A key block made by Monkayo, Davao de Oro scorer Rey Suerte in the dying seconds of the game help the Blackwater Bossing end its 29-game losing streak against Magnolia, 101-100, in their final game of the PBA 46th Season Governors’ Cup at the Smart-Araneta Coliseum on Wednesday.

Suerte blocked a potential game-winning shot of Jackson Corpuz in their game.

The former player of the University of Mindanao Wildcats Ponciano campus had a superb game for his team as he scored 16 points in their morale-boosting win.

Suerte was earlier described by Bossing head coach Ariel Vanguardia as a young Dondon Honrtiveros due to his sensational debut for his team by scoring 16 points in his team's 103-109 loss against the Terrafirma Djip on February 12.

“He reminds me of a young Dondon Hontiveros,” Vanguardia said in an article on Tiebreaker Times.

Vanguardia said the sky is the limit for Suerte if he plays hard always.

“It’s a good debut for him, and I expect him to do even better,” Vanguardia.

Hontiveros is a retired player from Cebu City who got the nickname Cebuano hotshot for being a deadly shooter and clutch player in the PBA.

Earlier, despite being just a rookie, Suerte showed some talent with his penetrations and outside sniping but sadly his team still suffered a defeat.

“First to third, medyo suwerte pa ‘yung nilalaro namin. Pero nung fourth quarter, medyo kinapos ‘yung suwerte. Minalas,” Suerte told reporters after the game.

He recently signed a two-year deal with the Bossing.

Sources said Suerte and his manager agreed to sign the deal worth P200,000 a month in the first year and P250,000 a month in the second year. (Romeo Braceros Jr.)
