No import, no worriesMANILA, Philippines — Rain or Shine, all without its suspended import Jaylen Johnson, shut down Meralco in a coast-to-coast 109-102 victory and seized the solo lead in the PBA Season 50 Commissioner’s Cup last night at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Manaytay, a 6-foot-5 rookie, also stood his ground on the defensive end by limiting Meralco import Marvin Jones. “We wanted to offer our effort to Jaylen. Maybe, they were just complacent and we had a psychological upper hand without an import. It came down to how we wanted it more than Meralco.”Later, Robert Bolick (32) drained the go-ahead trey as NLEX (3-1) forced a three-way tie at No.
