NorthPort completes rare sweep of SMC teams
NorthPort completed their first-ever sweep of all three San Miguel Corporation teams with a narrow 105-104 victory over San Miguel.
This achievement marks a significant shift for the franchise, which has historically been considered a doormat team.
The Batang Pier also ended a five-year dry spell against Barangay Ginebra with a 119-116 win and defeated Magnolia 107-103.
Despite squandering a significant 24-point lead against San Miguel, NorthPort demonstrated resilience to secure the win.
NorthPort deputy Rensy Bajar stated that the team is making a statement and will play with 100 percent effort in every game, including the playoffs.
