Almond Vosotros and Samboy de Leon nailed three consecutive deuces to turn a 10-14 deficit into a 16-14 lead.It turned out to be an 8-1 finishing kick for TNT, with J&amp;T falling apart down the stretch. A layup by De Leon secured an 18-15 triumph for the Tropang GIGA.Meanwhile, ten minutes weren&#x27;t enough to settle the semis affair between Meralco and Platinum Karaoke. Leo de Vera knotted the count at 16 with 40 seconds left, and Alfred Batino rejected Platinum&#x27;s Nico Salva on what could have been the go-ahead layup.In overtime, Tonino Gonzaga appeared to have given Meralco the win when he drilled a long jumper, but a review by the referees showed that he stepped on the line.It wouldn&#x27;t take long for Gonzaga to finish the job, however, converting a layup for an 18-16 win and a spot in the finals.J&amp;T and Platinum will face off for third place honors.Earlier in the day, Cavitex routed TerraFirma, 21-6, to finish ninth, and San Miguel slipped past Ginebra, 19-17, for 11th place.
