THE Taguig Generals sealed the top seed in Group A of the National Basketball League-Pilipinas (NBL) President’s Cup quarterfinals after beating Laguna Pistons, 104-92, last Sunday at the Muntinlupa Sports Complex.
The Generals finished with a 9-2 win-loss record to grab the No. 1 seed in Group A, arranging a best-of-three crossover semifinal series with the Bulacan DF Republicans, the No. 2 in Group B.
The other semifinal pairing will feature two-time defending champion Pampanga Delta, the top-ranked team in Group B, facing the Quezon Barons, which finished second in Group A.
The start of the semifinals will be on Sunday, June 12 at the Bren Z. Guiao Convention Center in San Fernando, Pampanga.
