Battle for third
Finals
Byron "Snake" Jones sink four straight charities in the last 55 seconds to give Toyota a 99–95 lead. It was a come-from behind victory by the Comets, which trailed by as much as 10 points thrice in the third quarter, the last at 78–68 and by nine points, 84-75, with eight minutes left in the game.[2]
The Redmanizers rose from an eight-point deficit, 86–94, to take the lead for good at 100–98, on a 14–4 cluster by Adornado, Philip Cezar, Bernie Fabiosa and Rudy Soriano.
Crispa's intense defense forced the Comets into 10 errors alone in the first quarter and the Redmanizers took a 26–14 advantage in the first 12 minutes of play. A couple of sizzling layups by Rey Franco past Toyota import Byron "Snake" Jones highlighted Crispa's surge to its biggest lead of 16 points in the third quarter, 64-48.
Stan Cherry fired six points in a 10–2 run that shoved Toyota out front, 73-65, and when Crispa closed in to within 71–73, Orly Bauzon and Rodolfo Segura bailed out the Comets, 79-73, with two minutes remaining.
Crispa took an 87–80 lead in the final stretch. Johnny Burks followed fellow import Pete Crotty to the bench with six fouls with still 3:10 left. The Comets came close to within 89–92, with still 1:35 left. Bogs Adornado, who topscored with 18 points, banged in his final basket off Orly Bauzon and though Sonny Jaworski narrowed it down to three, 91–94, Philip Cezar redeemed himself from the previous error by sinking in the clincher for the Redmanizers, a driving lay-up off Ramon Fernandez which triggered off a riot moments later. Toyota coach Dante Silverio, who blamed the referees for the riot, sent in only four men in the last 30 seconds.[3]
