MANILA -- Titans and Zoos Tokyo are the latest teams to book their spots in the quarters of the Manila Hustle 3x3 Season 2 after ruling their respective groups on Saturday at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall in Pasay City.

Playing undermanned following the injury to Trina Guytingco in just their first game, the three-women Titans side showcased their prowess to go 3-0 in Pool D.

Behind the superb efforts of Thai star Supavadee Kunchuan, Japanese Lina Nakazawa, and Jhazmin Joson, Titans earned a hard-fought 21-17 win over Uratex Dream, a 20-13 clipping of Dinoman Hansol of Korea, and a 22-9 thumping of Royals Basketball of Australia.

Zoos Tokyo were just as impressive in Pool C, setting the tone with a 21-10 win over Shoot It Dragons of Thailand before following it up with victories over Army Altama, 21-13, and Gilas Pilipinas Women, 21-10.

Those two teams joined other top seeds Tokyo Dime and Discovery Perlas as they await their quarterfinal matchups.

Unfortunately, Gilas Pilipinas Women bowed out of the tournament winless in their three games, a tough outing for the rejigged national women’s 3x3 team.

Nonetheless, advancing to the next phase are Pool C teams Shoot It Dragons (2-1) and Army Altama (1-2), and Pool D squads Uratex Dream (2-1) and Dinoman Hansol (1-2).

Knockout rules are now in effect for the playoffs on Sunday with the action tipping off at 11 a.m.

Sister teams Uratex Dream and Tibay will be one of the must-see matchups in the round of 16, with the other pairings being Army Altama taking on Shiv Nadar School of India; Bluefire LPG locking horns against Dinoman Hansol; and Shoot It Dragons meeting Owls.EXE.

At stake is the USD 3,000 for the champion, USD 2,000 for the runner-up, and USD 1,000 for the third placer.
