Meralco tightens grip on top spot

MERALCO tightened its grip on top spot while NorthPort cracked the "Magic 10" in the PBA 3x3 Season 3 Third Conference team standings after their performances in Leg 4.

The Bolts kept pole position with 350 tour points after scoring their first back-to-back leg wins in Leg 4 and third overall in the season-ending conference.

Despite settling for fourth Tuesday, Leg 2 ruler MCFASolver stayed at No. 2 with 310 points.

Giving chase are TNT, which rose one spot to third with 240 after netting a second straight silver, and Cavitex, which dropped one to No. 4 with 230 after placing sixth.

The teams sitting from fifth to ninth last week retained their positions - San Miguel Beer (206), Leg 4 bronze medalist Blackwater (196),
Purefoods (158), Pioneer Elastoseal (119) and Terrafirma (113).

The Batang Pier, meanwhile, emerged as the biggest gainer as it climbed out of the cellar and into 10th with 113. NorthPort, riding on its seventh place in Leg 4, dislodged Barangay Ginebra (101) from the cutoff line for the upcoming Grand Finals.

Only 10 teams after six legs will make it to the conference championship, with the Top 4 squads getting outright entry into the quarterfinal round as incentives.

The race for leg honors and precious tour points will continue in the Leg 5 on Monday and Tuesday at Market!Market! (OL)
