Rising from the grave after falling behind 3-1 in the best-of-seven semifinals, defending champion Talk ‘N Text escaped with a 92-91 win against Petron Blaze last night to return and will face Powerade Tigers in the finals of the PBA Philippine Cup at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Earlier, Powerade secured the first seat after dominating the Game 7 against Rain or Shine, 107-98.

As the trade mark of their semifinal series, TNT and Petron trailed each other all throughout the four quarters. In the end, it was Tropang Texters who managed to capitalize on the breaks of the game.

Meanwhile, Gary David, JV Casio and the other members of Powerade Tigers will be playing their first championship in the PBA after successfully taming Rain or Shine.

Casio, who poured in 25 points last night, said the victory was a result of good team work with all the Tigers giving their best in their last game against the Elasto Painters.*NAB
