Quarterfinals: (3) Red Bull vs. (6) Sta. Lucia[edit]

Playing all of the available game dates, the Realtors were seen to be tired going into Game One, while the Barakos had their last game a month earlier, receiving a bye up to the quarterfinal round.

The Realtors were tired, head coach Alfrancis Chua said, of losing, at the post-game press conference after their victory at the Araneta Coliseum.[1] On Game 2, Sta. Lucia failed to capitalize on their last-second possessions as the Bulls upended them in overtime. With the series tied, and perhaps the long list of games they've played catching up on them, the Realtors were blown out by Red Bull on the third game at the Yñares Center at Antipolo, where they're beaten only once.


On the fourth game, Sta. Lucia kept up with the Barakos but were outlasted at the fourth quarter to drop out of contention; Red Bull now has four straight semifinals appearances.

Semifinals: (2) San Miguel vs. (3) Red Bull[edit]

San Miguel and Red Bull split their elimination round games as the Beermen eked out the Bulls on the last berth for the semifinals bye; prior to that, the Barakos and the Beermen figured in their own best of seven semifinal at the 2006 PBA Philippine Cup in which the Bulls emerged victorious, via seven games.

Red Bull lead much of the first game, but the Beermen led by Dondon Hontiveros and Danny Ildefonso mounted a 19–2 run to draw first blood. Red Bull then made sure to lead from start to finish as they walloped San Miguel to force a 1–1 tie. On Game 3, San Miguel continued their alternating wins against Red Bull in the playoffs as they pull ahead 2–1; Ildefonso was ejected at the fourth quarter after receiving two technical fouls after a skirmish against Enrico Villanueva and Mick Pennisi.

The pivotal fourth game was nailbiter as both teams exchanged baskets for most of the game until Pennisi, who had a 20% shooting night, converted a three-pointer at the buzzer to tie the series again, at 2–2. San Miguel withheld Red Bull at the fifth game, as they outscored the Bulls from the second half to hold a twice-to-beat advantage going into the sixth game.[2]

Facing elimination, Red Bull engaged San Miguel in a shooting contest until Yeng Guiao was caught throwing an elbow to Dondon Hontiveros; San Miguel assistant coach Biboy Ravanes yelled to the referees while another assistant coach, Pido Jarencio, charged towards the Red Bull bench coming almost in contact with Guiao. When the dust settled, Guiao was assessed with two technical fouls and was ejected; Ravanes and Jarencio each received a technical. San Miguel pulled away but Red Bull chipped the lead to appear at striking distance at the fourth quarter. Celino Cruz converted clutch baskets to give Red Bull the lead 102–100; Seigle missed the potential game-tying jumper as Cruz was fouled on the rebound. Cruz converted his two freethrows to put the lead out of reach for the Beermen to force a Game 7.[3]

After the fracas, Guiao was meted with a one-game suspension which would take place the game after Game 7 and a P30,000 fine; Jarencio was meted a P50,000 fine for improper contact with the referee; his suspension is also deferred the game after Game 7.[4]


In the deciding game 7, San Miguel built a comfortable lead to avoid any Red Bull incursion, the last happened on the 6-minute mark but Hontiveros doused cold water a pair of back to back three-pointers.
