Cagayan shocks Caida

Cagayan Valley wielded the upset axe on erstwhile unbeaten Caida Tiles even as Jumbo Plastic continued its winning run in Thursday’s double header of the PCBL Founders Cup at the JCSGO Gym.

Mark Brana delivered 12 points, including the crucial jumper from the elbow in the last 28.9 seconds to lift the Rising Suns to an 81-77 triumph and hand the Tile Masters their first loss in six games of the tournament supported by Spalding, Ambucore, Accel and Aquabest.

While Caida Tiles’ winning streak was halted by Cagayan Valley, Jumbo Plastic kept rolling as it coasted to its fifth straight win capped by a 76-63 victory over Sta. Lucia in the first game.
