THE Abra Solid North Weavers battered the undermanned Mindoro Tamaraws, 104-82, on Tuesday and extended their winning streak to a record 26 in the MPBL 2025 Season at the Robert Estrella Sr. Memorial Gymnasium in Rosales, Pangasinan.
Abra surpassed the 25 straight victories it shared with Nueva Ecija and closed the round-robin elimination phase of the 30-team tournament at 28-1 - best in the North Division and an MPBL all-time record.
Encho Serrano, John Uduba and Dave Ildefonso delivered the most as the Weavers gifted their head coach, Yong Garcia, with another victory.

Serrano posted 29 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists; Uduba 21 points and 10 rebounds, and Ildefonso 21 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds and 4 steals for the Weavers, who clustered 15 points to seal the outcome, 96-71.
The Tamaraws fell to 15-14, but kept the eighth spot in the South Division.
Mindoro got 17 points from RJ Ramirez, 15 from Ethan Galang, 14 from Marion Magat, and 12 from homegrown Hanz Philip Maycong.
The Weavers took the half, 47-44, behind Uduba's 19 points and Ildefonso's 15.
Opting to conserve its strength for the play-in against Zamboanga Sikat on Oct. 4., Mindoro did not field starters Ino Comboy, Bam Gamalinda and Joseph Sedurifa, role player Jeco Bancale and veteran Ken Bono.
Still, the Tamaraws, powered by Ramirez and Magat, were able to knot the count at 42.
