Facing a 10-point deficit at the end of the third quarter, the Panthers jumped out with two quick goals in the fourth to retake the lead.
Pambula led by eight points at the first change thanks to a goal in the final 10 seconds of the first quarter, and maintained a five-point lead into the main break.
The Giants accelerated in the third quarter with two unanswered goals, but an early blitz in the fourth saw the Panthers jump back on top.
The Giants missed numerous chances to retake the lead throughout the term, and Pambula's defence hung firm for a 5.4 (34) to 4.7 (31) victory.
The Giants' loss means the minor premiers are out of the finals in straight sets, while the Panthers will advance to take on the Bermagui Breakers in next week's grand final.
