Cavitex picked up from where it left off the last time and was quick to clinch a quarterfinals berth in the PBA 3x3 Season 3 Second Conference, which kicked off on Monday, Oct. 16, at the Ayala Mall Circuit in Makati.
The Braves, runner-up to TNT Triple Giga during the First Conference grand finals, notched back-to-back victories over Blackwater and Pioneer Elastoseal to emerge the top seeded team in Pool A by the end of their campaign in the Leg 1 pool play.
Former 3x3 national player Jorey Napoles showed the way in Cavitex’s win over Blackwater with nine points on 6-of-8 shooting, while Kenneth Ighalo had six points and the same number of rebounds in the victory over Pioneer. The Bossing, meanwhile, bounced back from their loss to the Braves and dealt the Katibays a 21-8 beating, to claim the remaining quarterfinals seat in the same group.
Also joining Cavitex and Blackwater in the next round is grand slam winner TNT, which currently leads Pool B with a 2-0 slate. Gryann Mendoza has taken the scoring chores for the Triple Giga in the absence of top gun Almond Vosotros, including a game-high 11 points in a 21-18 victory over San Miguel.
