RAMPAGING Limitless Appmasters seek the distinction of being the first team to win three legs in a single conference in the PBA 3x3 Lakas ng Tatlo as they lead the chase for the Second Conference Leg 6 top honors Tuesday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
The Appmasters' triumphs in the third and fifth stages have enabled them to match their two-leg feat back in the First Conference and now they have the opportunity to annex a third in the final stop before the battle shifts to the conference grand finals.
"Sobrang saya nung nakuha namin yung Leg 5, dagdag confidence ito sa amin para sa Leg 6 at sa grand finals," Limitless ace Jorey Napoles said when the squad guested in The Game on One Sports.
Napoles and his pals Brandon Rosser, Reymar Caduyac and Marvin Hayes open their campaign against NorthPort in a Pool A matchup that ushers in Leg 6 hostilities at 8 a.m.
The Southeast Asian Games-bound Appmasters are also set for Day 1 showdowns with Barangay Ginebra and Meralco 3x3 before wrapping up their pool assignments on Wednesday morning against Sista Super Sealers.
