By Moses Billacura

UMAC Express Cargo handed Whitemud Physiotherapy its second loss in seven outings, 86-79 in the master's division 2 of the 2023 Pinoy Basketball Association in Canada (PBAC) Tournament, March 12, at the Legacy Athletics in Edmonton.

Renier Ando was all over the place, setting up the plays, rebounding and scoring and Gary Galvez went on a shooting spree as UMAC collected its sixth win in eight games.

It was a see-saw battle and Whitemud Physiotherapy even took the lead, 64-60 at the end of the third quarter.

Galvez buried back-to-back three-pointers to give UMAC back the lead, 68-64, 5:36 remaining and remained in the lead. "Na suwerte yung pag shoot sa labas," said UMAC Express Cargo manager Homer Lising. PBAC games will resume on weekends, according to tournament commissioner Rey A. Mendoza.
