DEFENDING champion Alaska eyes its sixth straight win against
cellar-dweller Welcoat Wednesday in the 2008 Smart-PBA Fiesta
Conference at the Araneta Coliseum.
The Aces battle the Dragons at 4:50 p.m. before
sister teams Barangay Ginebra and Purefoods collide at 7:20 p.m.
After losing to Purefoods 78-88 in Calape, Bohol
on May 10, Alaska has won five straight to improve its record to
7-6.
In their 86-84 win over the Express on June 6,
the Aces banked on Willy Miller, who finished with 21 points and
five assists, and import Randy Holcomb, who had 17 points, 8
rebounds and 5 assists.
Alaska is also hoping to repeat its 92-90
first-round win over Welcoat, which is coming off a 102-97 win over
the Giants on Saturday at the Mindanao Civic Center in Tubod, Lanao
del Norte.
The Kings, sporting a 5-8 record, defeated the
Giants 102-99 in the first round on May 2.
