Red-hot TNT to test NorthPort's mettle



ALASKA and Meralco return to action in the PBA Philippine Cup this week and resume their mission of securing playoff berths, but TNT and NorthPort will open hostilities today at the Don Honorio Ventura State University in Bacolor, Pampanga.

The Tropang Giga, winners of eight of their nine games, will take on the streaking Batang Pier, who have won three straight games last week in their return to action after more than a month of layoff.
