The Misamis Oriental Meteors earned a spot in the Smart-Liga Pilipinas semifinals after completing a three-game sweep of the Pagadian Explorers.

Patrick Cabahug scored 15 points as the Meteors utilized a stifling defense in downing the Explorers, 69-59, late Monday night at the Xavier Gym in Cagayan de Oro.

The Meteors will meet the winner of the best-of-five series between the Taguig Batang Global and the Iloilo Mang Inasal in another race-to-three semifinal showdown starting August 30.

Taguig, meanwhile, tied the series at 2-2 to force a do-or-die match against Iloilo with a 109-93 Game 4 victory at the San Agustin Gym in Iloilo.

The series returns to Taguig where the Batang Global will be making a stand to earn a semis berth in front of its home town fans.

Iloilo took a 2-1 lead after a 113-101 win against Taguig on Saturday but failed to close out the series at home.

Playing before the Iloilo crowd, Ferdie Go posted 21 points while Nestor David and Edlrin Senieres added 20 markers each. Go and Senieres also combined for six three-pointers while Senieres shot seven-of-14 from the field. – GMANews.TV
