The Heat is a 2013 comedy buddy film that stars Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy.

PLOT: The film starts with FBI Special Agent Sarah Ashburn (Sandra Bullock) being paired with Detective Shannon Mullins (Melissa McCarthy) who is a foul-mouthed and needlessly violent interrogator. After Mullins finds out about Ashburn's kind disposition, the two don't get along. They eventually warm to each other. Ashburn soon finds out the boss at the Boston FBI office Levy (Marlon Wayans) has a crush on her and Mullins introduces Ashburn to her family, who all hate Mullins because she put her brother Jason (Michael Rapaport) in prison.

De La Salle’s Jeron Teng claims that the rough play that led to his brother’s injury was done on purpose.

Jeron aired his concern through Twitter after his brother Jeric suffered a nasty fall during University of Sto. Tomas’ basketball game with National University on Wednesday.

“I know it's no accident. I've known him since RP youth days,” Jeron tweeted, alluding to Javillonar.

In the end, Gilas Pilipinas head coach Chot Reyes opted to go to war with his "original 12."

Reyes bared on Thursday his final 12 for the FIBA Asia Men’s Basketball Championship with the latest addition to the national pool, Beau Belga, being the odd man out.

Reyes commended Belga for being the "ultimate professional."

Chot Reyes hasn’t made up his mind on the final composition of the Gilas Pilipinas 12-man lineup.

With only 13 of them leaving with him for the 10-day training camp in New Zealand, Reyes is having a hard time choosing who to drop from the lineup to the reserved list.

It’s practically the same players, who went in Lithuania for a two-week training camp last month.
