The Bay Area Dragons finish off San Miguel Beermen in Game 4 (ESPN)

The Bay Area Dragons finished off the San Miguel Beermen, 94-92, in Game 4 of their best-of-five semifinal series Wednesday and will face Barangay Ginebra ...

"I've been in the game a long time, but I've never been involved in a seven-game series. "I don't think I've bever been in a series, and I've been in the game a long time, that was like that. I've been involved in a best-of-five every now and then but never best-of-seven. I do love how the fans have welcomed us, the people have welcomed us," Nicholson said. I'm hoping we've got an opportunity now to prepare and there'll be no excuses." So I'm gonna have a few drinks, and then when midnight hits, I'm gonna be on the next series. We didn't finish, we missed a lot of free throws but we stayed in it and it gave us an opportunity and we hit two Hail Marys which really got us over the line. Game 1 on Christmas will represent a new experience for Goorjian in more ways than one. "I think we showed great composure towards the end," Nicholson said. NCC was also the last guest team to win a PBA championship, and the Dragons are hoping to replicate that feat. The Dragons won Game 1 by 1 point and Game 4 by 2 points, while the Beermen took Game 3 by 2 points. Bay Area becomes the first guest team since NCC in the 1985 Reinforced Conference to make it to a PBA finals.
