He’s a very good import, he tries to get all the locals involved,” he added.Garcia was referring to import Reggie Johnson, who threw his weight around the paint and finished with 16 points, 15 rebounds, and three assists.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://sports.abs-cbn.com/basketball/news/2018/04/29/pba-aces-add-woes-sliding-blackwater-40959">READ: Alaska Aces add to the woes of sliding Blackwater</a></li></ul>Ginebra held a slim 10-6 lead early, but Almazan and Ed Daquioag conspired to steer Rain or Shine ahead at the end of the opening frame, 27-16.The Elasto Painters remained in control most of the way, though the Gin Kings came to within seven points, 74-67, thanks to an LA Tenorio triple with 11:47 left to play.But Almazan’s lay-up sparked an 11-0 run, highlighted by Yap’s triple, to give ROS a double-digit spread once more, 84-67.Ginebra would not threaten again, and Rain or Shine went on to lead by as much as 21 points, 103-82, off a triple by Chris Tiu before Garcia emptied his bench.Daquioag finished with 17 points, while Maverick Ahanmisi and Tiu had 10 each.Japeth Aguilar had 28 points and 12 rebounds for Ginebra, which lost its Commissioner’s Cup debut. Their import, Charles Garcia, shot only 8-of-18 from the field for a 19-point, 8-rebound effort.<div>The scores:</div>RAIN OR SHINE 108 - Almazan 20, Daquioag 17, Johnson 16, Yap 13, Ahanmisi 10, Tiu 10, Belga 7, Norwood 5, Onwubere 3, Washington 3, Casino 2, Ponferada 2, Borboran 0, Matias 0, Torres 0.GINEBRA 89 - Aguilar J. 28, Garcia 19, Tenorio 13, Devance 11, Mercado 7, Thompson 3, Ferrer 3, Caguioa 2, Mariano 2, Caperal 1, Aguilar R. 0.Quarters: 27-16, 49-34, 75-64, 108-89<div>For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.</div>
