NLEX, Rain or Shine stay undefeated


NLEX and Rain or Shine cruised to easy wins to remain undefeated in the PBA-Tag Heuer 3-on-3 women’s basketball tournament Friday night at the Smart-Araneta Coliseum.

In Group A action, NLEX zoomed to their third straight win after a 15-1 trashing of Phoenix in the first game.

Analyn Almazan scored three straight baskets to push the NLEX lead to 8-1, before Kath Sandel and Angel Ortega each took turns extending the margin.

An and-one conversion by Ortega made it 14-1, before Almazan ended the match with a lay-up. Joan Diego was the lone scorer for Phoenix in the match.

NLEX stayed undefeated at 3-0 with the win, while Phoenix dropped to 0-3.

In the second match, Ara Abaca made a successful debut as her Rain or Shine prevailed over San Miguel, 13-7 in Group B.PBA-Images-Tag-Heuer-3x3-Rain-or-Shine-San-Miguel-Beer NLEX, Rain or Shine stay undefeated 3x3 Basketball News PBA  - philippine sports news

The Elasto Painters jumped out to a 6-0 lead on an Abaca free throw, before Lorenzvi Tan and Denyse Jimenez ended the dry spell for San Miguel.

Ayra Hufanda then knocked down a two, while Jimenez scored to cut Rain or Shine’s lead down to just 9-7.

But Kath Garcia and Abaca answered with back-to-back baskets to extend the advantage up to 11-7. Rain or Shine were not threatened again as San Miguel struggled to hit their outside shots.

Rain or Shine improved to 2-0 with the win, tying Blackwater on top of Group B standings. San Miguel suffered their third straight setback and sank to 0-3.
