Beau Belga contributed 14 points, and the ROS defense limited Blackwater to just 32% shooting from the field.</p><p>Rain or Shine settled for a 38-34 lead at the half, but ramped up their defensive intensity in the third frame. </p><p>Out of the break, they held Blackwater to just four field goals, while Belga, Gabe Norwood, and Ryan Arana helped the team build a bigger lead.
