Zamboanga Valientes have won 4 3x3 championships in a row in Australia

Zamboanga Valientes MLV clinched their fourth straight title in the Champions League Basketball (CLB) 3×3 in Australia after toppling the Sydney Supersonics, 17-14, on Saturday, February 27.

Led by Eric Miraflores, Zamboanga repeated over the Sonics – a two-time CLB champion and one of the best 3×3 teams in Australia – in the final to nail the CLB 3×3 event in Hamilton.

The Valientes made it 4 championships in a row after earlier ruling the 3×3 Christmas Street Hustle in Canberra, the CLB 3×3 in Bendigo, and the CLB 3×3 Portland Open.

Despite missing Ping Concepcion and coach Junie Navarro, who are both in the Philippines as Zamboanga gears up for the National Basketball League Pilipinas, the Valientes proved to be a formidable team in the CLB.

Zamboanga crushed Fades of the Babes, 15-8, in its tournament opener before it stunned the Supersonics, 8-6, and beat the Tech Wool Turkeys, 15-6, on the way to the playoffs.

The Valientes then trounced the Melbourne Magic, 15-12, in the semifinal to set up a finals date with the Supersonics. – Rappler.com
