                    [Summary] => After a seven-day break, the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) returns with a bang at the Big Dome today.


A twinbill headlines the PBA’s Easter Sunday offering and it’s a dandy. Unbeaten San Miguel Beer attempts to extend its eight-game winning streak and faces Coca-Cola in the first game while FedEx takes on Red Bull in the nightcap.

Literal said he’s willing to sit down with Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) representatives so a joint four-year plan of action could be formulated with the goal of winning the gold medal at the Asian Games in Doha, Qatar, in 2006.

In previous games, Latvia beat the Philippines, 79-54, Italy defeated Ukraine, 89-72, and Latvia upended Ukraine, 86-75. Tonight’s twinbill features Italy (2-0) versus Latvia (2-0) for the title and the Philippines (0-2) versus Ukraine (0-2) for third place.

Danny Seigle hit the icebreaker, Asi Taulava nearly tore down the backboard on a dunk, and Eric Menk buried a triple as the Philippines raced to a 12-8 lead. The aggressiveness that the Filipinos lacked in losing a 43-point blowout to Italy the night before was evident against Latvia – at least in the early going.

Tickets for the game are almost sold out.
