“Even if one of us makes a mistake, we motivate each other to keep focused in the game. It’s overwhelming—for us to be representing the country. It’s a good opportunity for us to improve our 3x3 game. Keep on supporting us, it will for sure motivate us to keep bringing our A-game against other teams.” ~said one of Taho Story’s team members
In the Red Bull Half floor National Finals, which lit up the floor and wrapped up an amazing Philippine tour, top teams from Davao, Cebu, and Manila teamed up with WildCards for a one-day, all-or-nothing 3-on-3 basketball match.
On October 25, 2025, at Parqal, Aseana City, the country's top 3-on-3 teams fought for supremacy, unleashing exciting plays under the fast-paced Red Bull Half Court system. Every possession mattered and demanded quick thinking, tight defense, and quick execution because games were limited to 10 minutes or first to 21 points and had a 12-second shot clock.
But rather than being just a sport, the National Final was a full-on streetball celebration. Presented by MC Pao Avila, who made the event even more memorable with his charm and insight. The Philippine All Stars lit up the stage with a dynamic dance performance, while Stance Philippines arrived with a slick Street Car Showcase, drawing attention with their custom automobiles. As part of the HoopJeep cooperation, a mobile court was also constructed, bringing streetball culture to life. Fans joined in on the fun with their own contests. Much like the Dunk Competition, which is judged on uniqueness and downright brilliance. The sharpshooters' desperate 60-second spurts of clutch shots lit up the sidelines during the Two-Point Shootout. The event's distinctive fusion of basketball, culture, and community spirit was captured in these moments.
Taho Story used relentless hustling and razor-sharp accuracy to win the men's national title after overcoming Fit' N' Grind in a close 9–5 match after a challenging elimination round.
Taho Story claims that their approach to the competition was to focus on defense and ensure that each player was aware of their place on the court.
