Whoppers eye 3rd straight win
By WAYLON GALVEZ, Manila Bulletin
Burger King hopes to carry the momentum of its back-to-back wins when it battles defending champion Talk ’N Text this
Friday in the KFC-PBA Philippine Cup at the Ynares Sports Center in Antipolo City.
The Whoppers and the Tropang Texters collide at 5 p.m. while the Ginebra Kings and the Coca-Cola Tigers try to arrest their
losing skids when they cross paths at 7:30 p.m. match.
Clashing in an exhibition match at 2:30 p.m. are Smart-Gilas national team and the streaking San Miguel Beer.
BK coach Yeng Guiao said their game against TNT will certainly test their character but he hopes that their previous two
wins will help their cause.
The Whoppers ended a three-game losing spell with a 106-97 win over Coke and followed it up with a 102-86 win over
Barako Bull.
But the Whoppers need another extraordinary effort to beat the inspired Phone Pals.
The Phone Pals, for one, coming off an impressive 87-72 win over a depleted Ginebra last Wednesdat that boosted their
record to 5-3.
They should also closely watch sophomore wingman Jared Dillinger who produced his best game so far in the conference
with 18 points and the same number of rebounds.
“It’s going to be tough, we’re up against the defending champion,” said Guiao, who will rely anew on team mainstays Gary
David, Ronjay Buenafe, and Mark Yee.
“We all know that coming in to this conference they are one of the teams to beat,” he added.
Though the Whoppers’ last two wins came against teams that have struggled lately, Talk ’N Text mentor Chot Reyes knows
they remain dangerous because of their tough physical defense.
