YENG Guiao knows the just-concluded quarterfinal series win over Magnolia offers tons of lessons that will only serve his Rain for Shine players in good stead as they advance to the PBA Season 49 Governors' Cup semifinal series against TNT.

Ranged against playoff-tested Magnolia veterans Paul Lee, Mark Barroca, Ian Sangalang and Calvin Abueva, all who have won at least one PBA championship in their pro careers, the younger Rain or Shine side gutted it out en route to beating the Hotshots, 113-103, in their winner-take-all match on Saturday to win the series, 3-2.
