Magnolia, Rain or Shine dispute early solo lead.(Sports)

RAIN OR Shine and Magnolia Dairy Ice Cream dispute the solo lead today as the league titans clash in the featured match of a triple bill in the 2006 PBL Heroes Cup at the JCSGO gym in Cubao.

The Elasto Painters and Wizards collide at 4 p.m. with both teams hoping to sustain the momentum they gained following their impressive wins in the opening day last Saturday at the La Salle Greenhills gym.

Drawing big games from Jojo Tangkay and Ronjay Enrile, Rain or Shine scored an 81-75 come-from-behind victory over Toyota Otis, while Magnolia turned to Kim Valenzuela, Arwind Santos, and Kelly Williams to turn back Granny Goose Tortillos, 79-70

Also gunning for win No. 2 is Hapee-Philippine Christian University which battles MontaA[+ or -]a Pawnshop at 6 p.m. The Teeth Masters celebrated their comeback after a year of absence with a 65-54 drubbing of Far Eastern Insurance last Thursday.

Clashing in the curtainraiser at 2 p.m. are Toyota Otis and Tortillos with the Snackmasters determined to give coach Jun Tan a grand farewell. Tan, who guided the team to a respectable third place last conference, has stepped down from his post to concentrate on their family business in Cebu.

Veteran mentor Joe Lipa has been tapped to replace Tan whose cool demeanor earned him raves and admirations from his players, several team owners and league officials.

After steering Tortillos to a fourth place finish in their maiden campaign last year, Tan was passionately courted by a team in the pro league to become one of its assistant coaches but he politely declined the offer.

Fast and furious action is expected to mark the Magnolia-Rain or Shine tussle as both teams boast of several players who can excite the crowd with their wondrous moves from the shaded lane and torrid shooting from beyond the arc.
