MCFASOLVER surged to the top spot in team standings of the PBA 3x3 Season 3 Third Conference after its triumph in Leg 2.
The Tech Centrale, who struck gold just one leg after settling for runner-up honors in the conference kickoff, jacked up their tally to 180 tour points as they dislodged Leg 1 conqueror Meralco (150) from No. 1.
After grabbing the maximum 100 points in Leg 1, the Bolts finished only fifth in their failed bid for back-to-back leg wins for an equivalent of 50 markers, allowing the Lubao-based guest team to race ahead.
Cavitex stayed at No. 3 with 140 markers after recording its second consecutive podium finish even as Blackwater (110) bumped Purefoods (105) off No. 4.
The Smooth Razor's climb from fifth was spurred by their fourth place standing last Tuesday while the Titans' fall was hastened by their sixth place in the second leg.
