PBA: No team has clear edge in both semifinals series
The teams left jockeying for the PBA Governors’ Cup title have been trimmed down to the final four, and no one seems to have an advantage over anybody, which makes these two best-of-seven semifinal derbies the most interesting in a long while.
San Miguel and Barangay Ginebra tangle in the curtain raiser, while Rain or Shine takes on defending champion TNT in the nightcap of a doubleheader set on Wednesday at PhilSports Arena in Pasig City, and though no one ever said that a series can be won in the first game, dictating the pace carries a lot of importance.
After being put through the gauntlet by Converge, the Beermen are hoping to be an entirely different squad when they battle the in-form Gin Kings in the 5 p.m. contest that marks the start of yet another sister act that, in the past, more often than not go down the proverbial wire.
