Patriots face Warriors today

THE AIRASIA Philippine Patriots try to get their mojo back when they take on the Indonesia Warriors today in the Asean Basketball League at the Mahaka Square in Jakarta.

The Patriots embark on a three-game road trip looking to exorcise the demons from their 66-68 loss to rivals San Miguel Beermen last Sunday.

It was a game that proved to be costly. As aside from the loss, star import Anthony Johnson and defensive stalwart Ardy Larong got a one-game suspensions for various infractions.

The Patriots got a reprieve on Wednesday as Johnson and rugged locals Ardy Larong and Erick Rodriguez were cleared by the league to suit up against the Warriors as they will serve their one-game suspension after this match.
