PBA Sunday: Rain or Shine completes All Filipino Final 4

Uncharacteristically in the half-time huddle, Coach Yeng Guiao has become soft-spoken, emphasizing to his boys: "shoot the ball when you are open, Ronnie (Matias), do not hesitate on an open shot" and it translated to a better second-half performance as Rain or Shine books the last semifinals seat beating Ginebra San Miguel (102-89) to battle against last season's Governors Cup rivals, San Mig Coffee Mixers in a Best of Seven series come Wednesday, December 19.

Lead by Paul Lee's 25 points and Gabe Norwood's bounce back 21 points, The Elasto Painters proved that they can finish of a game despite a comeback by the Gin Kings in the 3rd Quarter.

Ginebra was lead by LA Tenorio's 20 points and Billy Mamaril's 20, which was his career game before fouling out with time left in regulation.


The scores:

RAIN OR SHINE 102 - Lee 25, Norwood 21, Cruz 12, Belga 11, Matias 9, Tiu 7, Rodriguez 6, Quinahan 6, Chan 5, Tang 0, Arana 0.

GINEBRA 89 - Tenorio 20, Mamaril 20, Caguioa 14, Maierhofer 11, Helterbrand 9, Ellis 4, Wilson 4, Hatfield 4, Taha 3, Labagala 0, Espiritu 0.

Quarters: 27-27, 47-47, 76-64, 102-89
