THE REIGNING champions NLEX Road Warriors look to establish their defensive identity and grab their fifth win in a row when they take on the Fruitas Shakers today in the PBA D-League Aspirants Cup pver at the Arena in San Juan City.
The Road Warriors are off to a great start after racking up four straight wins.
Their defense, though, has been lacking as shown when they nearly lost to Jose Rizal University and squandered a 15-point lead against the Informatics Icons last week and had to grind it out down the stretch to hack out the win.
Three interesting matches are lined up at The Arena in San Juan City this afternoon. Big Chill, the only other unbeaten team in the conference, takes on winless Boracay Rum (0-4) while Blackwater Sports battles JRU in the third game. /Correspondent Jonas Panerio
