Tornadoes, Artemis dispute solo FBA lead

Pampanga Foton and Metro Racal will dispute the solo lead in the FilSports Basketball Association Unity Games tomorrow at Oreta Sports Center in Malabon.

The Tornadoes swept their first three games but fell to the erstwhile winless Laguna Busa Warriors, 86-89, before the fledgling league took a Lenten break.

Foton was ahead by nine midway in the fourth before Laguna overhauled it en route to the win.

The Tornadoes clash with the Metro Racal Artemis at 7:30 p.m. Admission is free and games will be televised over PTV 4.

The loser will drop to a share of second place with the winner between Malolos and UP clash in the 3:30 p.m. opener.

Foton will bank on Mikee Reyes, a former UP hotshot, and Levi Hernandez, a member of Arellano U that finished second behind San Beda in the NCAA.

But the Artemis are also out to seize the solo lead following their 87-72 rout of the Malolos Mighty Bulsu two weeks ago.

Meanwhile, the Busa Warriors, mentored by former PBA stars Nic Belasco and Ali Peek, try to make it two-in-row as they tackle the Numero Uno Antipolo Pilgrims at 5:30 p.m.
