They did a fantastic job keeping the team focused and coming up with a good game plan,&quot; said Uichico. NLEX also defeated Converge and Phoenix in the tournament. &quot;This was a good tournament for us, facing three of the teams we’ll go up against in the PBA. It gave us a chance to see where we stand and what adjustments we need heading into the Philippine Cup,&quot; said Uichico.NLEX Governor Ronald Dulatre also extended his appreciation to the tournament organizers.  &quot;We thank SBP Davao Regional Director Glenn Escandor and tournament director Miggy Solitaria for organizing a well-run tournament and taking care of the players from all four teams.
