Cavitex marches to PBA 3x3 KO stage

CAVITEX bolstered its bid for a third straight championship in the PBA 3x3 First Conference after marching outright to the knockout stage of Leg 6 Monday at the Ayala Malls Trinoma.

The Braves just needed to beat Blackwater Smooth Razor, 17-13, to advance in the quarterfinals and keep on track of winning a leg title for the third consecutive time.

Jorey Napoles topscored for seven points and Bong Galanza had five for Cavitex, which booked one of the quarterfinals ticket in Pool A.

TNT Triple Giga clinched the other berth in the same group behind a 21-16 victory over Blackwater, which officially bowed out of the quarterfinals running after two straight losses.
