Responders go for UNTV Cup crown
AFTER two failed tries, Philippine National Police will eye no less than a sweep of the 4th UNTV Cup title series against Armed Forces of the Philippines at 6 p.m. today at Smart Araneta Coliseum.
The PNP Responders took Game 1, 84-80, last weekend through the hot hands of Harold Sta. Cruz and Ollan Omiping, who scored half of his 28 points in the fourth quarter.
The PNP Responders lost to the Judiciary Magis in the inaugural championship and to the AFP Cavaliers the following year.
Former PBA player Boyet Bautista must deliver for Cavaliers if he wants to help AFP force a deciding Game 3.
The champion team will receive P4 million, with P3.5 million to be donated to its chosen charity. The beneficiary of the runner-up squad will get P1.7 million from the P2 million pot.
Metro Manila Development Authority earlier placed third after subduing National Housing Authority, 77-74, and donated P800,000 from its P1 million prize.
