[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.
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.
