THE Giants are the Kings of the North even in the opponents homecourt, ending the series for North title at 82-76 score at the jampacked San Juan Arena, November 14.
Encho Serrano finished with 16 points including key foul shots down the stretch as the Lanterns completed an incredible comeback and record a 2-0 sweep.
The Giant Lanterns stood tall after trailing by 13 at the start of the fourth period, stifling the Knights with their defense before leaning on some big shots from Serrano, Allen Liwag and John Lloyd Clemente.
It would be the first time for Pampanga Giant Lanterns to reach the National Finals, and would be facing with whoever between Bacoor City Strikers and Batangas City Embassy Chills Athletics wins the South Division.| – Details from MPBL
