Warren Bonifacio made use of his height advantage to lead the Pasay Voyagers to a tight 81-77 win over the Iloilo United Royals in the 2024 MPBL season on Tuesday night at the Cuneta Astrodome in Pasay City.
The former Mapua University Cardinals center finished with a double-double of 22 points and 10 rebounds to go with four assists as the Voyagers continued their hot start with a 5-2 win-loss slate.
Bonifacio also played a pivotal role for the Voyagers late in the game as he drilled a rare shot clock-beating three-pointer that gave them a 77-68 advantage with over three minutes left.
“Lahat naman kami may freedom na tumira basta open so tine-take namin ‘yung opportunity na maka-shoot kasi hindi naman namin alam kung papasok or hindi,” Bonifacio said in his Player of the Game interview.
Laurenz Paul Victoria backed up Bonifacio offensively with 18 points to go with six rebounds and five assists, and Dhon Reverente hauled 13 rebounds to go with seven points.
Clint Doliguez led the way for the United Royals with 19 points, CJ Cansino added 12 markers, and Conrad Catapusan and Mark Nonoy tallied 11 points each as they dropped to 2-5.
