With their import, Ricardo Ratliff, delivering a stellar performance, Magnolia was able to pull away from Converge in a fast-paced game that kept fans on the edge of their seats. Ratliff’s dominant presence in the paint and ability to contribute both offensively and defensively were key factors in the Hotshots’ triumph.
