Best-of-five
Taguig will look to win its second consecutive title, and third overall in the league, after they ruled the Chairman’s Cup last January with a victory at the expense of La Union. The Generals also won the title in the league’s second season against Pampanga Delta in 2019.
Taguig will try to win another title against a Pampanga-based team, this time against Luid Kapampangan, which joined the league just this conference.
Led by Mike Sampurna, Taguig went 7-1 to take the top spot in Group B at the end of the eliminations and swept Camsur Express in the best-of-three semifinals, including a 90-83 win in Pili, Camarines Sur on Sept. 13.
Luid, with Lhancer Khan showing the way, finished first in Group A with a 6-3 win-loss slate, and went the full route in the semifinals before ousting Tatak Gel Binan, 92-87, last Sunday.
