Manila, Philippines – Fans and spectators might have thought they’ve seen it all, but Robert Bolick continues to surprise everyone.

The Chiefs thought they had it going in the second half as they led by a slim three point advantage midway in the third quarter. But Bolick fired up and boosted his teammates for an 18-4 run that gave San Beda a 68-57 comfortable cushion.
The Red Lions never looked back as Bolick dropped all his 37 points in the second half that put San Beda back on their groove and gained their seventh win in the season.
