- Ni Russell Cadayona -

MANILA, Philippines - Ang Barako Bull ang hahamon sa No. 1 at nagdedepensang Talk ‘N Text, habang ang B-Meg ang sasagupa sa No. 2 Barangay Ginebra sa best-of-five semifinals series na magsisimula bukas.

Ito ay matapos ilampaso ng Energy ang Alaska Aces, 106-85, at talunin ng Llamados ang Meralco Bolts, 86-76, sa Game Three para tapusin ang kani-kanilang best-of-three quarterfinals showdown sa 2-1 sa 2012 PBA Commissioner’s Cup kagabi sa Smart-Araneta Coliseum.
