BY CEDELF TUPAS

Two Negrenses will be on the spotlight when the best-of-seven Philippine Basketball Association All-Filipino finals begin on Friday at the Araneta Coliseum.

Purefoods ace gunner James Yap, who hails from Escalante City , will be testing the wits of Sta. Lucia coach Boyet Fernandez of Valladolid town in the finals, after both their teams hurdled Red Bull and Alaska , respectively Sunday night.

And four days before the series tips off, Fernandez has already raised the alarm on a possible offensive explosion from Yap, the 2005-2006 season Most Valuable Player.

KJ Fairmart-City Savings Bank leaned on another strong performance from Gherald Abrot to upend Head and Shoulders, 103-101, Sunday in a battle of unbeaten teams in Group 2 of the Tan Kek Pin Memorial Basketball Cup's Class B division at the Po Hang Gym.

Abrot made four of his 14 fourth-quarter points down the stretch to boost KJ, 98-92, after Head and Shoulders had tied the match at 92. When the game boiled down free throw shooting, KJ-CSB also proved steadier.

Abrot finished with 25 points, including 11 in the opening period, where KJ opened a 27-14 spread. RJ Peñas and Theodoro Lara added 11 and 10, respectively as KJ notched their fourth win of the tournament.
