PASIG—It's Racal versus Cignal-San Beda in the PBA D-League Aspirants Cup Finals.
The Hawkeyes bucked a slow first quarter to blast the Tanduay Rhum Masters, 88-65, in the other knockout semifinal at the Ynares Sports Arena on Tuesday night.
The Hawkeyes outscored the Rhum Masters, 29-13, in the second quarter to turn an 11-18 deficit to a 40-31 halftime lead and never looked back to earn the right to face the Tile Masters, who won in the first do-or-die game earlier Tuesday.
