Abra Weavers Standing and Game Scores in the MPBL 2024 Season

Abra Weavers 2024 MPBL Season Standings

The Abra Weavers have had a remarkable season in its initial foray in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL) after it finished the 2024 season with an 18-10 standing. Unfortunately, the Weavers succumbed to the eventual champions, Pampanga Giant Lanterns, in the first round of the playoffs.

Its inaugural season in the MPBL showcased a blend of resilience, skill, and strategic gameplay. Their journey through the regular season was marked by significant victories, hard-fought losses, and moments that encapsulated the spirit of basketball in the Philippines. 


Kicking off the season on April 6, 2024, the Weavers secured a solid win against the Pangasinan Heatwaves with a score of 83-75, setting a positive tone for the campaign. This was followed by another convincing victory against Marikina Shomeasters on April 11, with a score of 97-85, signaling that Abra was in strong form from the outset. However, their early momentum faced challenges with losses to Pasay Voyagers and Biñan Tatak Gel, indicating areas for improvement, particularly in defense and closing out games.


Mid-Season Surge
The Weavers bounced back spectacularly in the middle of the season, securing crucial wins against tough opponents like Negros, Manila, Imus, and Bacolod. Their game against Bacolod on June 3 was particularly noteworthy, where they dominated with a massive 115-64 scoreline, showcasing their offensive capabilities at their peak. This period was marked by excellent teamwork, with players stepping up in various roles, from scoring to defensive plays.


Late Surge

Despite their successes, the mid to late season was not without its trials. Losses to teams like Caloocan Batanga Kankaloo, San Juan Knights, Mindoro Tamaraws, Quezon Huskers and Davao Occidental Tigers highlighted the competitive nature of the league and the need for continuous adaptation. Each defeat seemed to fuel a kind of resolve in the team, leading to a series of strong performances against teams like Batangas Tanduay Rum Masters, Bulacan Kuyas, and Iloilo United Royals.

The latter part of the season saw Abra in top form. They clinched victories against Quezon City Toda Aksyon, Muntinlupa Cagers, Valenzuela Classic, and notably, a high-scoring game against Bicol where they scored 129 points on September 24. Nevertheless, the Weavers lost against the league's top teams including the Pampanga Giant Lanterns, Zamboanga Master Sardines and Nueva Ecija Rice Vanguards.



Playoffs defeat

While the Abra Weavers advanced to the playoffs in its inaugural season in the MPBL, they faced the defending champions, Pampanga Giant Lanterns, in the first round. It was indeed a difficult assignment for the Weavers as they fell in game 1, 64-79, against the Giant Lanterns.

In the second game, the Weavers had a chance to tie the series but lady luck favored the Giant Lanterns who squeaked past the Weavers, 66-65, to advance to the division semifinals.

In summary, the Abra Weavers' season in the MPBL has been a testament to their hard work, strategic gameplay, and the spirit of basketball in Abra. Their journey has added another vibrant chapter to the rich tapestry of Philippine basketball, leaving fans excited for what the future holds for this dynamic team.
