Match Info
In a PBA on Tour preseason game, the Meralco Bolts defeated the Phoenix Fuel Masters 88-78 on December 12, 2025, at 7:30 PM. This exhibition match served as a valuable tune-up for both Philippine Basketball Association clubs, with the Bolts using a strong fourth-quarter performance to secure the victory. The game was competitive through three periods, with Phoenix Fuel Masters leveraging their athleticism to keep the score close. Meralco's experience and structured half-court offense began to wear down Phoenix as the game progressed. The pivotal moment came midway through the final quarter when Meralco went on a 10-2 run, sparked by defensive stops and timely three-point shooting, to open up a double-digit lead that Phoenix could not overcome. While the result does not count toward the official PBA standings, it provides both coaching staffs with insights into player rotations and conditioning ahead of the upcoming conference. Meralco's depth was on display, with several players contributing meaningful minutes, while Phoenix will look to build cohesion after integrating new pieces into their system during this tour period.
