NLEX Road Warriors — Macau Black Bears: 138:78, PBA Governors Cup

NLEX Road Warriors defeated Macau Black Bears 138-78 in the PBA Governor's Cup on 7 October 2026. The home side put together a comprehensive victory that showcased the gap between the two sides. The final score reflected a match where one team controlled proceedings from the opening tip-off.

The Road Warriors sit second in the table with three wins from three games. They have yet to drop a point in the standings, maintaining a perfect record through the opening round. Macau Black Bears occupy seventh place after four defeats, though that position carries little meaning with zero points on the board.

NLEX's recent form has been mixed. They lost 110-112 to Converge FiberXers on 14 August before edging TNT Tropang Giga 88-83 three days later. A 109-114 defeat to Terrafirma Dyip and a 119-107 win over Converge preceded that victory. The home side needed a statement performance after those ups and downs.

Macau Black Bears have struggled to find consistency. They lost 79-131 to San Miguel Beermen on 8 August and 128-132 to Titan Ultra Giant Raisers two days later. A 96-92 victory over Terrafirma and a 132-126 win against Titan followed, but those results could not hide the broader pattern. Another defeat on 19 August saw them fall 103-106 to TNT.

The 60-point margin leaves NLEX firmly in contention for a top-four finish. Macau must now regroup after a fourth consecutive loss. The result widens the gap between the two sides in what is still an early stage of the competition.
