GAME SCHEDULE: 2024 PBA Governors’ Cup semifinals
MANILA, Philippines – The PBA Governors’ Cup is heading into the homestretch.
Only four teams remain as Barangay Ginebra, San Miguel, Rain or Shine, and TNT advanced to the semifinals, where they will tangle in a pair of best-of-seven duels for a chance to inch closer to the championship.
Defending champion Tropang Giga battle a young and hungry Elasto Painters side that has not won a title in nearly a decade, with the two teams locking horns in the playoffs for the second straight conference.
Rain or Shine emerged victorious in their quarterfinal duel in the Philippine Cup last season, but TNT — led by reigning Best Import Rondae Hollis-Jefferson — is out for vengeance as it seeks to defend its throne.
In the other semifinal bracket, the Beermen and the Gin Kings face off in a clash of sister teams.
San Miguel hopes to get another crack at a record-extending 30th championship after falling short of the Philippine Cup crown, while Ginebra aims to reach the finals after a pair of semifinal exits last season.
