George King pointed toward the sky as the final buzzer sounded at the end of Blackwater’s last assignment in the PBA Season 49 Governors' Cup against Rain or Shine. 

He may just have heard the last buzzer for him in the conference but probably not for his PBA career.

Not especially after making sure to leave a lasting impression with a 64-point explosion to power Blackwater to a 139-118 victory over top seed Rain or Shine and end the conference with a bang at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium on Monday, Sept. 23.

Fighting for nothing but pride, the Bossing hardly looked like a team already out of contention as they went off to a blazing start before pulling all the stops to keep themselves ahead in the victory that they should carry over to the next conference.

King led the attack, dropping 24 of his total in the opening frame while also ending the night with a perfect 20-of-20 clip from the foul line. It was an all-game brilliance for the prolific Blackwater import who already had 49 just through the first three quarters of the game.

Blackwater led by 16 at the intermission, 70-56, and while Rain or Shine came as close as six points, 72-78, the Bossing found an extra gear to once again build a separation and, this time, broke away for good.

Sedrick Barefield also had 21 points while Richard Escoto finished with 13, Troy Rosario with 12 and rookie DJ Mitchell with 11 for the Bossing who finished with a 4-5 record.

It was similar to the record of NLEX which claimed the fourth spot by virtue of a superior point differential.

Still it was a night to remember for Blackwater who outplayed the Rain or Shine on its own run-and-gun game.

Jhonard Clarito had 18 points for Rain or Shine which finished the eliminations on a 7-3 slate. Anton Asistio and import Aaron Fuller, who played for 23 minutes only, had 14 apiece.
