                    [Title] => Giants make it 2-to-nil
                    [Summary] => It was  Game One all over again.


Purefoods Chunkee built a big margin early, squandered it on a vicious counterattack by Red Bull and had to regroup to make it two in a row in the Gran Matador Brandy PBA Philippine Cup best-of-seven title playoff at the Astrodome last night.

The Giants got a huge lead, blew it and regained their bearing early this time to score a convincing 93-82 victory.

With the momentum and psychological edge now clearly on their side, the Giants go for a three-game-to-nil lead Sunday at the Araneta Coliseum.

Ang kasagutan ay malalaman sa Miyerkules sa pagtatagpo ng Dolphins at Knights sa pagtatapos ng first round of action sa Cuneta Astrodome sa Pasay City. Kapwa napanalunan ng dalawnag kopo-nang ito ang unang anim nilang laro sa torneo at sila na lamang ang hindi pa nakakatikim ng pagkatalo.

Natural na ang isasagot ng karamihan ay ito: Ang PCU Dolphins ang llamado sa sagupaan ng dalawang unbeaten teams.
