First in PBA: 8 straight semis games

MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) will open 2012 with 8 Philippine Cup semi-final games in 8 straight days.

The league has decided to give the viewing public a better chance to see all the Final 4 games, from January 4 to 11, according to PBA.ph.

One semi-final game will be played each night at 6:45 p.m.

“This nightly semi-final schedule makes it easier for the fans to be able to watch all our games live,” said PBA commissioner Chito Salud in a statement.

“Those coming from work or school can catch the games from the start and because there’s only one game, they can also go home earlier,” he added.

The 8-game stretch is a first in PBA history.

The teams in the PBA Philippine Cup semi-finals are Petron Blazer Boosters, Rain or Shine Elasto Painters, Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters, and Powerade Tigers.

The semi-finals begin on January 4 with Game 1 of the Rain or Shine vs Powerade series.

Petron and Talk ‘N Text will clash in another playoff showdown following two finals meetings last season.
