Cafe France and Tanduay turned back gritty quarterfinal foes to complete the Final Four cast in the 2017 PBA D-League Aspirants’ Cup Thursday at Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig.
The Bakers recovered from an early 10-point deficit to thwart Jose Rizal University, 86-75, while Tanduay slipped past AMA Online Education, 80-76.
Paul Desiderio and Rod Ebondo unloaded 16 points each to power the Bakers, who will take on No. 2 Racal Tile Mastes in the best-of-three semifinal series starting Tuesday.
Mark Cruz and Jerwin Gaco, meanwhile, combined for 39 points to help Tanduay arrange a Final Four showdown against top seed Cignal-San Beda.—RANDOLPH LEONGSON, INQUIRER.NET
