The top two powerful forces, PNP Responders and AFP Cavaliers, will fire up to win the Game 2 battle of the best-of-three final series of UNTV Cup Season 2 on Tuesday (July 1), 5 p.m. at the Smart-Araneta Coliseum, Quezon City.

Spearheaded by Kuya Daniel Razon, UNTV Cup is a basketball tournament with government offices playing for charity. Its second season premiered last February 11 with 10 teams in the line-up.

In Game 1 last June 22, the police officers gunned down the tactical moves of the armed forces and won big 10 points in the final quarter, 74-64.

With the 1-0 win-loss record already in hand, another victory would bring PNP Responders the basketball title for this season. Last year’s champion was Team Judiciary, which donated their P1-Million cash prize to the victims of Bohol earthquakes and war victims in Mindanao.
