Beermen, Gin Kings, Painters, Tropang Giga eye strong semis starts
The PBA Governors' Cup semifinals kick off on Wednesday with four teams vying for an early lead in their respective best-of-seven series.
Defending champion TNT faces Rain or Shine at 7:30 p.m., while Barangay Ginebra plays San Miguel Beer at 5 p.m., with both games held at the PhilSports Arena.
TNT's matchup against Rain or Shine carries a revenge narrative, as ROS eliminated TNT in the quarterfinals of the previous conference.
Rain or Shine achieved that victory through a reverse sweep, including a close 110-109 win in the deciding game.
The previous playoff exit prompted TNT coach Chot Reyes to emphasize a more defensive strategy, which will be tested by Rain or Shine's efficient offense.
