PBA: NorthPort stuns NLEX as Cade Flores delivers career night
Cade Flores scored a career-high 26 points, along with 15 rebounds, to lead the NorthPort Batang Pier to a 113-108 upset victory over the NLEX Road Warriors in the PBA Philippine Cup.
Flores made 11 of 13 field goal attempts, sparking a comeback after NorthPort trailed by 11 points in the first half.
The win snapped an eight-game losing streak for NorthPort, improving their record to 2-8, while NLEX finished the elimination round with a 7-3 slate.
NLEX squandered a chance to secure the No. 1 seed after losses from Robbie Herndon (21 points), Brandon Ramirez, and Robert Bolick Jr. (16 points each).
NorthPort, still dealing with the mid-tournament exits of Arvin Tolentino and William Navarro, aims to carry this momentum into the next conference.
Assistant coach Rensy Bajar stated, "We want to carry this into the next conference."
