RED BULL tries to move closer for the outright semis
berth as it clashes with Purefoods Tender Juicy in the main game of
the TNT-PBA Fiesta Conference Sunday at the Araneta Coliseum.
The defending champion Bulls,
currently tied with Ginebra at top spot with 8-2 slate each, and the
slumping Giants collide at 6:20 p.m.
In the first game, Air21 seeks
its seventh win against the reeling Welcoat Paints at 4:05 p.m.
Red Bull is coming off a 100-71
thumping of the Dragons last Wednesday that proved to be costly for
them as import James Penny suffered a bruised left hand after a hard
tackle by Welcoat center Jay-R Reyes.
Penny is a doubtful starter today
though his presence is badly needed by the team especially against
their chief nemesis Purefood and Marquin Chandler.
The Giants, holding a 3-7 slate,
were defeated by the Express in their previous game, 89-102. Their
superstar James Yap missed the game to attend a personal matter as
his celebrity wife Kris Aquino gave birth to their first child.
