Game 3: Pangasinan vs. Abra // 2025 MPBL North Division Finals

With their season now on the line, the Pangasinan Heatwaves return home determined to keep their North Division title hopes alive as they take on the undefeated Abra Solid North Weavers in Game 3 of the 2025 MPBL North Division Finals on Thursday.

Abra holds a commanding 2–0 series lead, following back-to-back wins in Bangued—first with a dominant Game 1 performance and then a gritty, hard-fought victory in Game 2. Now, the Weavers are just one win away from clinching their first-ever North Division crown and punching their ticket to the MPBL National Finals.

Pangasinan, however, has shown all season that it thrives with its back against the wall. After upsetting second-seeded Nueva Ecija and surviving a dramatic three-game duel against San Juan, the Heatwaves aim to extend the series and ignite hopes of another comeback.

The Weavers continue to look every bit like the league’s hottest team, extending their MPBL-record winning streak to 32 straight games. In Game 2, they showcased their championship poise, weathering Pangasinan’s late rally thanks to the all-around brilliance of Dave Ildefonso, who tallied 11 points and an impressive 15 rebounds.

Supporting him were Mike Ayonayon and Raven Gonzales, who provided timely scoring to keep Abra in control. With their defense clicking and their depth shining, the Weavers are confident and composed heading into hostile territory.

A win on Thursday would not only complete a 3–0 sweep but also keep their historic run alive.

Despite falling short in the first two games, the Heatwaves have shown flashes of danger—especially in their fourth-quarter surge in Game 2. Jorey Napoles sparked that rally with three triples, while Vic Manuel and Mike DiGregorio continued to battle inside and out.

To stay alive, Pangasinan will need:

• A stronger offensive start
• More consistent perimeter shooting
• Better control on the boards
• And a cleaner, turnover-free game

Playing at home gives them renewed hope, as the Pangasinan crowd has proven capable of lifting the squad in crucial moments throughout these playoffs.

Can Pangasinan Solve Abra’s Defense?

The Weavers have held the Heatwaves to under 60 points twice. Pangasinan must find a way to free up Manuel, Bulanadi, and Gabo if they hope to force a Game 4.

Will Abra’s Depth Continue to Dominate?

Jason Brickman, Ildefonso, Ayonayon, Geo Chiu, and Gonzales have all stepped up at different moments—making the Weavers incredibly tough to contain in a long series.

What’s at Stake

• Abra: A sweep, a North Division championship, and a historic march to the National Finals.
• Pangasinan: Survival, pride, and the chance to push the series back to their home floor for a Game 4.

Expect a physical, high-energy, and emotional battle as the Heatwaves try to extend their run while the Weavers look to slam the door shut.

The fight for the North continues—Game 3 is win-or-go-home for Pangasinan.
