Sizzlers' former import Lewis Lloyd replaces Kenny Sanders after Diet Sarsi lost their first game, 83-98 to Presto Tivoli.
Beginning the Third Conference, Diet Sarsi change its team name to Swift Mighty Meaty Hotdogs, a brand the RFM Company has been carrying during their amateur days.
[2] July 14: Al Solis pumped-in a running shot that banked off the board and went in to lift Diet Sarsi to a 105-104 triumph over San Miguel Beermen.
Then the Sarsi guard, who was still 25 meters from the goal, dribbled past Renato Agustin and heaved that shot from about 23 feet, erasing a 102-104 deficit and giving them their seventh win in nine games.
The Sizzlers defeated San Miguel Beermen, 100-95, in a playoff game on August 20 as they'll face corporate rival Purefoods for the All-Filipino crown.
