Abr Weaver defeated Keson City 79 to 51 in the MPBL on Wednesday evening. The visitors took control early and never looked back, extending their grip on the top of the standings. And here's the thing — this wasn't close from the opening tip.
Keson City's home crowd watched their side struggle to find rhythm against a disciplined Abr Weaver outfit. The hosts managed occasional runs but couldn't string together sustained pressure. To be fair, the visitors switched tempo whenever the momentum threatened to shift.
That inconsistency has haunted Keson City recently. They beat Imus Brotherhood 111 to 94 last time out but had lost to Zamboanga Sikat 85 to 84 in between. By then, the pattern was becoming clear — high highs and low lows.
Abr Weaver meanwhile sit first with 15 wins from 16 games. They have one defeat and no draws, a record that shows they don't travel to make up the numbers. Their recent results read like a checklist: 106 to 70, 110 to 84, 74 to 71, 63 to 53, and 130 to 76.
The gap between the sides is now four wins. Keson City sit eighth with nine victories and nine losses, while Abr Weaver's single defeat keeps them clear at the summit. The hosts need to find consistency if they hope to close the distance.
