Butuan City-Uling Roasters bagged the third leg of the Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas 3×3 President’s Cup Sunday night with a hard-fought 21-20 win over Pasig-Sta. Lucia at the Inspire Sports Academy in Calamba, Laguna.
Franky Johnson hit the winning two-point shot with 27 seconds left as Butuan City emerged as the season’s newest leg champion after Zamboanga City-Family’s Brand Sardines suffered an early exit at the hands of Pasig.
The team composed of Johnson, Chico Lanete, Chris de Chavez and JR Alabanza claimed the top purse of P100,000 after placing second and reaching the semis in the previous two legs.
