Bolts drop closing EASL outing

MANILA, Philippines —  Meralco just lacked the added firepower to overcome the Seoul SK Knights, suffering a 72-62 loss late Wednesday night in the East Asia Super League at the Jamsil Student’s Gymnasium.

The Bolts were without seven of their key players led by Chris Newsome in their final game in the regional meet’s Home and Away season.

Still, they gave the home team a good fight all the way until the final quarter when the Knights outscored them 23-14, to clinch their fourth win in six outings.
