NorthPort claims the top spot in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) for the first time in franchise history. Despite their impressive 9-3 record and twice-to-beat advantage in the quarterfinals, Joshua Munzon emphasizes their focus on continuous improvement and preparation for the challenges ahead. They await their quarterfinal opponent, possibly Magnolia or NLEX, while other teams like TNT Tropang Giga, Converge, and Barangay Ginebra San Miguel also battle for playoff supremacy.
NORTHPORT is perched atop the standings of the Philippine Basketball Association for the first time in franchise but for Joshua Munzon , their Commissioner’s Cup campaign is far from over.
NorthPort was impressive in the eliminations at 903 won-lost to snatch a twice-to-beat advantage in the quarterfinals along with second-ranked TNT Tropang Giga , which got the better of the quotient from Converge and Barangay Ginebra San Miguel. Munzon, who erupted with 21 points in a 120-93 win over Blackwater that capped their eliminations assignments last Tuesday, said he is very proud of his team for not giving up and proving themselves out.
Munzon averaged 18.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 12 games in the elimination for the Batang Pier, who played their best basketball ever in 13 years in the league.
