                    [Summary] => The Cebu Gems are sick and tired of coming up short. In 1998, they were upended by Negros in the Southern Conference. The following year, they were defeated by Manila in the National Finals. Last year, they annexed the MBA Intra-Conference Challenge title, but were ousted en route to the national finals.

                    [Summary] => Reigning national champion Manila unleashed a stirring fourth quarter run to scuttle Davao, 109-89, yesterday and clinch the first finals berth in the MBA Intra-Conference Challenge at the Mail and More Sports Complex in San Andres.


Alex Compton, last year’s MVP, played the fireman’s role for the Metrostars in the final quarter, firing 23 points in a game he spiked with 14 assists, five rebounds and five steals to send the elimination round topnotchers to the best-of-three championship.

Bunga ang kanilang pangunguna sa North at South, tig-isang panalo na lamang ang kailangan ng defending champion Metrostars at Cebu Gems kontra sa Davao at Pasig-Rizal para itakda ang kanilang championship finals.


Ngunit tiyak na mayroong ibang plano ang Eagles at Pirates para dugtungan ang kanilang pag-asa at supilin ang inaasam ng Gems at Metrostars  titular showdown nilang dalawa.
