MANILA — The cast for the semifinals of the PBA Commissioner’s Cup is now complete after the Meralco Bolts took the last ticket with a 91-85 overtime win over the NLEX Road Warriors on Sunday.

The Bolts had to overcome a 20-point deficit but Gary David took over in the fourth quarter to tie the game at 82 by the end of regulation, according to the league website.

David, who made 31 points including five three-pointers, continued to lead the team in overtime with NLEX making only a measly three points, courtesy of Asi Taulava.

Meralco will face Rain or Shine in a best-of-five series starting Tuesday.
