    The Generals look to finish off the PAOwer and claim their second title in the regional league for homegrown talents on the road in Game Two set on Saturday at the San Juan Gym in La Union. Taguig last won the NBL crown in 2019.

    Natividad scored on a lay-up for Taguig’s biggest lead, 101-91, and ended a 6-0 blast by the Generals late in the contest for a 107-98 advantage. He later dedicated his performance to his mother, who recently passed away.
