CALOOCAN CITY — The Barangay 168 Spiders are now authors of one of the greatest seasons in BBO history after a stunning championship victory with only 1 defeat throughout the season.
The Spiders won the franchise’s second championship — and first since it rebranded from the Spider Forest to the Spiders — by capturing Game 2 of the BBO Finals over the JJs Brachys 130-110 on Saturday.
Barangay 168 won 21 regular-season game. Speaking of the player deemed most valuable during the regular season, Chris Gamon, the 29-year-old Bulakeño, scored 37 points in the series-clinching win and was unanimously named finals MVP. Chris "Echo" Gamon shot 14-of-18 — and 5-of-8 at the three point line. He averaged 28.5 points in the PlayOffs.
“Feels amazing — so much weight off my shoulders,” Gamon said. “I am just glad and happy that I finally lead this team back to the promise land.”
Gil Madlangbayan
added 24 points and 16 rebounds for the Spiders and Lemuel Derequito
contributed 18 points, nine boards with 6 of it came from the offensive rebound. Algiukas Kostiukovas
and Juan Marcelo de la Torre
each contributed 13 and 12 points respectively.
“I think in a couple days I’ll be able to come back down to Earth a little bit,” Madlangbayan said after winning his first ever Championship. “Right now, I’m just trying to enjoy the moment.”
