A Philippine Basketball Association Governors' Cup matchup between the Magnolia Hotshots and the Meralco Bolts at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium in Manila was temporarily stopped after a roof leak developed from heavy rains brought by the Southwest Monsoon. The game was paused at the end of the third quarter with Magnolia leading 71‑70. Play resumed later that night. Magnolia’s KJ Buffen scored 22 points, while Meralco’s Antonio Hester also tallied 22.
