TNT and Meralco will look to seal their place in the semifinals on Wednesday in the 2021 PBA Philippine Cup.
The PBA on Tuesday released the schedule for the week, with the Tropang Giga taking on Barangay Ginebra at 6 p.m. on Wednesday after the clash between the Bolts and NLEX at 3 p.m. at the Don Honorio Ventura State University gym in Bacolor, Pampanga.
Being the top two teams at the end of the elimination round, TNT and Meralco hold a twice-to-beat advantage in their series against separate opponents.
The Gin Kings and the Road Warriors, on the other hand, will seek to extend the series into a rubber match to be played on Friday.
Meanwhile, San Miguel and Magnolia will go for a sweep of their best-of-three series against their respective opponents on Thursday at the DHVSU gym.
