2024-25 PBA COMMISSIONER'S CUP SEASON STATS | MAGNOLIA HOTSHOTS

FROM THE PBA WEBSITE

The Magnolia Hotshots had an up-and-down 2024-25 PBA Commissioner’s Cup, finishing with a 6-6 record that barely secured them a playoff spot.

While young stars Zavier Lucero and Jerom Lastimosa had flashes of brilliance, they were mostly filling in the gaps left by Paul Lee’s absence and the slowed-down play of Calvin Abueva and Ian Sangalang.

They navigated a tense three-way tie with NLEX and San Miguel, ultimately outlasting both teams to claim the eighth seed after a gritty play-in win over the Road Warriors—thanks to Ricardo Ratliffe’s clutch performance.

But their postseason run was short-lived. Despite big-time efforts from Ratliffe, Mark Barroca, and Paul Lee, the Hotshots couldn’t overcome the top-seeded NorthPort Batang Pier in the quarterfinals.

Let’s break down the season stats and see what worked and didn’t for the Magnolia Hotshots.
