Semifinals

(1) San Miguel vs. (4) Sta. Lucia

The realtors completed a stirring comeback from 15 points down in the final five minutes, rookie Max Delantes soared high for a tip-in and then glided in for a fastbreaking layup with a foul from Ato Agustin in the last 20 seconds.^[1]

Hector Calma, Agustin and Allan Caidic took turns in keeping the Beermen intact in the face of the realtors' rally from deficits of as many as 12 points.

Caidic sizzled with 31 of his 37 points in the second half, as "The Triggerman" unloaded three triples in the third quarter that saw the Beermen taking a 71–61 lead from a 43-all count at halftime.^[2]

(2) Swift vs. (3) Coney Island

Game was canceled due to a brownout experienced in the venue.

Coney Island took their first sizeable lead of 10 points, 72–62, going into the final period. Alvin Patrimonio pumped in 22 of his 31 points in the second half.^[3]

Patrimonio knocked in an off-balance jumper with 36.8 seconds left, giving the Stars a 100–97 cushion in the extension period, and completed his heroics by tapping the ball from a driving Nelson Asaytono with six seconds remaining. The stars fell by as many as 20 points in the third period.

Dindo Pumaren scored six of Coney Island's last eight points in the second overtime as the Stars repulses the Mighty Meaties, despite the absence of Abe King, who was serving a one-game suspension, and Patrimonio, who was ejected with still nine minutes left in the second quarter after figuring in a scuffle with Swift forward Eric Reyes.^[4]
