Nueva Ecija clinches OKbet-MPBL North division crown
Nueva Ecija flaunted its might once again and demolised San Juan, 84-68, to clinch the North division crown of the OKbet-MPBL (Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League) 4th Season Presented by Xtreme at the overflow Nueva Ecija Coliseum in Palayan City.
The Rice Vanguards, with Will McAloney at the helm, withstood the best the Knights could offer in the fourth quarter to win the Game 3 decider pulling away, ending the title playoffs at 2-1.
With the count at 82-68 and Nueva Ecija’s Hesed Gabo rewarded with two free throws, Sen.Jinggoy Estrada, co-team owner of the Knights, approached the Nueva Ecija bench and conceded defeat, to the delight of over 6000 fans who filled the coliseum to the rafters with hundreds more turned away.
McAloney wound up with 15 points and 8 rebounds, trailing only John Bryon Villarias’ 19 points, including 15 in the first half.
Other Rice Vanguards who delivered were Christopher Bitoon, a non-factor in the first two games with 9 points, 6 assists and 3 rebounds, Michael Mabulac with 8 points and 11 rebounds, and Game 2 hero JR Taganas with 7 points and 4 rebounds.
Nueva Ecija team owner Bong Cuevas received the championship trophy from MPBL Commissioner Kenneth Duremdes.
San Juan put up a tough stand in the first half, but eventually wilted under the constant bombardment of the Rice Vanguards, who have posted a 27-1 record thus far.
Meanwhile, Zamboanga Family’s Brand Sardines and Batangas City Embassy Chill tangle for the South division crown on Saturday at the Mayor Vitaliano Agan Coliseum in Zamboanga City.
