NorthPort ends 8-game losing streak, beats NLEX

On Wednesday, NorthPort ended an eight-game losing streak with a 113-108 victory over NLEX in the PBA Philippine Cup.

Cade Flores was named Best Player of the Game for his career-high performance of 26 points and 15 rebounds.

Calvin Abueva, newly acquired from Magnolia, played a crucial role with 19 points, eight rebounds, four assists, and five steals in just his second game, significantly contributing to NorthPort's win.

Assistant coach Rensy Bajar highlighted Abueva’s professionalism and positive influence on the team, noting that despite being a late addition, he has already made a significant impact.

Abueva’s energetic presence lifted the spirits of his teammates during practices and games, encouraging everyone to play harder and contributing to NorthPort's momentum.

NorthPort aims to build on this success with their final Philippine Cup game against San Miguel Beer on Sunday.
