DAVAO CITY– TA Clemente found itself in a tight tiff in the first half, Friday at Green Heights Clubhouse Basketball Gym before finding a way to pull off a closed 66-57 decision against snappy Juan Micro Gas Station that led them straight to semis.
MJ Revilla sparked the charge with 14 points to go along with two rebs, three assists, and two steals while Aaron Amaneo also stuffed the stat sheet with 10 markers.
Behind those two, the Mohammad Ibrahim & Timotei Abby Clemente-owned team erupted for 13 points in the final stretch to take complete control of the contest.
This, after they found themselves playing the pace of the Juan Micro Gas who were hungry for a win.

Coach Jigger Saniel’s squad did nothing but answer his call from there as Tom Miranda scored 9 of his output while Renato Marjone fired all seven of his points in the last quarter that, still, a win to the semis, 66-57.
