SEMIS The Province of Negros Occidental and Valiant Bank got their semifinal campaigns off to a winning start, although they had to go through anxious moments before securing crucial victories in the Tan Kek Pin Cup Memorial Basketball Tournament at the Po Hang Gym. Rex Bayer held Province together when they mounted a late rally that snatched a 67-64 come-from-behind win over Davies Paint-Probac, before Valiant Bank repeated over defending champion BBC, 102-93, in overtime. Province and Valiant could arrange a championship duel if they
beat BBC and Davies Paint but a loss could pave the way for virtual
knockout matches on the next playdate. Both matches were set late
yesterday. |
