Playoff scenarios for the San Miguel Beermen
The 2019 PBA Governors’ Cup elimination round is down to its last play date on Wednesday, November 20 with a pair of exciting matches which will have a direct impact on the final placings going into the quarterfinals.
4:30pm – Alaska vs NLEX
7:00pm – San Miguel vs TNT
So far, three teams are already out of the playoff picture – Blackwater, Phoenix Pulse and Rain or Shine with two teams – Alaska and Columbian disputing the 8th and last spot.
NLEX is already assured of the No. 1 spot regardless of the result of its game against Alaska while Magnolia has a lock on the 6th seed.
NorthPort will either be 7th or 8th – depending on the result of the Alaska vs NLEX match.
A win by San Miguel will create a triple tie at 7-4 with TNT and Brgy. Ginebra. The Beermen, however, will move up to 3rd seed if it wins by 14 points or more since it will have superior quotient over the Gin Kings and the KaTropa.
