MANILA, Philippines — Biñan Tatak Gel found its mark everywhere and pounded Nueva Ecija, 99-82, on Tuesday in the MPBL (Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League) Sixth Season at the Alonte Sports Arena in Biñan, Laguna.
Lifted by Niño Canaleta’s perfect 5 of 5 shooting from afar, Biñan canned 11 of 21 triple tries in chalking up its 14th win against eight losses in the round-robin elimination phase of the 29-team tournament.
Other games saw Caloocan and Parañaque trounce their opponents.
The Caloocan Batang Kankaloo erected a 20-point spread (50-30) early in the third quarter and used it as a buffer to trip the Pasay Voyagers, 77-71, and rise to 12-8.
The Parañaque Patriots took the same route to subdue the Marikina Shoemasters, 88-78, and catch up with the Voyagers at 14-9.
