PBA Images</div>MANILA, Philippines – NorthPort played the unlikely role of spoiler as it humbled the league-leading NLEX, 113-108, in the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup on Wednesday at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.The Batang Pier, seeking to put a period to their eight-game skid, were successful tonight as they sent the quarters-bound Road Warriors crashing back to earth, dealing the latter&#x27;s only third loss in 11 games to conclude the elimination round.For its part, the Bonnie Tan-coached squad has secured just its second win in the all-Pinoy conference.Fran Yu dealt the likely dagger to the hearts of the Road Warriors who tried to come back into the match, sinking a layup with 12 seconds left to establish a 112-108 cushion.NLEX&#x27;s Robert Herndon had a clean shot on a four-point tying attempt as the ball went back to them, but to no avail.Confusion transpired late when NorthPort&#x27;s Joshua Munzon took a shot from the free throw line, but it was his teammate Cade Flores who was dealt on a duty foul by the Road Warriors in the succeeding possession.Herndon shot the free throw off a technical foul called on the NorthPort side because of that, but he missed again.<div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/sports/basketball/2025/6/10/bolick-named-player-of-the-week-after-nlex-secures-playoff-bonus-1457">READ: Bolick named Player of the Week after NLEX secures playoff bonus</a></div>Flores afterward went to the 15-foot-line to take the charity throws which were rightfully his. He split his trip, but then everything was all put to sleep as Calvin Abueva grabbed the ball for the offensive rebound, walking away with the win.Flores finished with 26 points on 11-of-13 clip, while grabbing 15 rebounds and tallying two steals.
