The Philippines-Davao NTB Wolves scored yet another blowout, this time blasting New Zealand-Fil Nation Select, 81-44, in the PSL Global Championship Challenge on Thursday at the Victoria Sports Club in Quezon City.
This time, it was Seth Abiendo who stepped up big for the Philippines born 2004 team, which remained undefeated in four games.
Abiendo finished with 16 points on a perfect 7-of-7 shooting from the field.
The Philippines will next face UK-KAMPI on Friday at 11:30 a.m.
Over at the younger division, the Philippines born 2006 team, represented by Cebu-USJR, stamped its class over UK-KAMPI Basketball, 104-67, to also pick up its fourth straight win.
As expected, Jan Vince Oringo had another dominant performance as he pumped in 26 points to go along with six rebounds and four assists to power the Philippines’ U18 squad to another convincing win.
A son of meat vendors in Leyte, Oringo is hoping his strong performance in the biggest PSL tournament will be enough to catch the eyes of collegiate scouts here in the Metro.
After being adjudged the MVP in the National Finals, Oringo is once again a strong candidate to win the prestigious individual plum in the Global Championship Challenge, especially as his team is poised to go all the way.
Meanwhile, North America scored a repeat win over previous victim, Philippines-Pampanga, 85-68 in the Born 2008 division.
Dominic Tuason caught fire and hit five three-point shots on his way to 27 points to lead the charge for the NABA Intercity-supported squad.
