Valientes keep winning form

MANILA, Philippines — Zamboanga Valientes MLV stunned the highly favored Sydney Supersonics, 17-14, last Saturday to bag its fourth straight title in the Champions League Basketball (CLB) 3x3 in Australia.

Proving that their 8-6 victory over the Supersonics in the preliminary stage was no fluke, the Valientes showed poise and cohesion in the thrilling finale to clinch the Champions League Basketball Hamilton crown in Hamilton, Victoria.

The Sydney Supersonics are one of Australia’s strongest 3x3 teams.

The Valientes earlier ruled the 3x3 Christmas Street Hustle in Canberra, the CLB 3x3 in Bendigo and the CLB 3x3 Portland Open, a feat that earned them recognition from the Zamboanga City Council headed by Mayor Beng Climaco.
