MAKE it two straight for Cavitex.
The Braves ripped Pioneer 22-10 yesterday to bag the title in Leg 5 of the PBA 3×3 First Conference Season 3 the Ayala Malls Manila Bay.
Former 3×3 national player Jorey Napoles and Kenneth Ighalo had seven points each for the Braves, who took control right from the opening tip of the 10-minute final.
With Napoles and Ighalo at the firing end, Cavitex raced to a 10-2 lead and never looked back on its way to claiming a second straight leg championship.
Dominick Fajardo and Bong Galanza each had four points for the Braves of coach Kyles Lao, who won the P100,000 prize money.
Cavitex earlier went through the wringer and survived two-time leg champion Barangay Ginebra in the semifinals 20-19.
But they were never really in trouble in the title game against the upset-conscious Elastoseal, who arranged a showdown with Cavitex after an 18-13 win over Northport in the semis.
It was the second runner-up finish for Pioneer in this conference to take home P50,000.
Gian Morido tried to carry the Elastoseal by his lonesome after finishing with a team-high eight points as last-minute entry Gian Abrigo, who replaced Enrique Caunan heading to the knockout stage, was held to just a solitary point.
Ginebra made it back to the podium after it nipped Northport 21-18 to take third place and the P30,000 cash prize.
