The Abra Solid North Weavers battered the Rizal Xentromall Golden Coolers, 89-60, to regain the top spot in the North division of SportsPlus Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League 2026 Season on Saturday at the Gov. Andres Bernos Memorial Gymnasium in Bangued, Abra.

In control from the start, Abra unloaded 15 points, capped by back-to-back triples by Shaun Ildefonso, against only three by Rizal, for an 82-45 spread with 4:35 left, securing its 12th straight win and 14-1 slate in the round-robin elimination phase of the two-division, 27-team tournament.

The defending division and national champion Weavers overtook the San Juan Knights (13-1) and kept their lead over the Caloocan Batang Kankaloo (14-2) in the race for playoff spots.

John Uduba bunched eight points in another 15-point spurt, bridging the second and third quarters, to push Abra away, 37-8, to stay.

With 15 points, eight rebounds and two assists in a 14-minute stint, Uduba was chosen the SportsPlus Best Player over reigning Most Valuable Player Dave Ildefonso, who had 14 points, two rebounds and two steals, and older brother Shaun Ildefonso, with nine points and nine rebounds.

Laurenz Victoria sparked an 11-point cluster that put the Golden Coolers closer, 29-48, only for the Weavers to counter strike behind Uduba and Ildefonso, 67-42, after three quarters.

Rizal, which fell to 10-6, drew 11 points each from Victoria and Billy Robles.
