JASON Perkins scored a career-high 31 points as hot-shooting Phoenix Super LPG beat NorthPort, 110-105, on Thursday at the Angeles University Foundation Sports Arena and Cultural Center to gain a share of the lead in the PBA Philippine Cup.
Perkins and Matthew Wright hit four each of the 17 three-pointers the Fuel Masters had against the Batang Pier as they remained unbeaten in two games under new coach Topex Robinson - enough for a share of the lead with TNT.
Aside from grabbing 12 rebounds for a double-double, Perkins also sealed the victory by converting two free throws with 12 seconds left, 108-104.
NorthPort slid to 0-2.
