The Crispa Redmanizers overcame a 0–2 series deficit to win over the Toyota Silver Tamaraws, three games to two, and became the league's first Grand Slam champion.
[1] Francis Arnaiz and Robert Jaworski took charge in finally applying the brakes on Crispa's last-ditch offensive, unleashing a telling 10–2 blast that gave Toyota an unreachable 97–86 lead, one minute and 30 seconds left.
The Silver Tamaraws blew a six-point lead in regulation, 106–100, with 1:30 left, the fighting Redmanizers level the count at 106-all on a split charities by Bernie Fabiosa that forces overtime.
[2] A 5–0 blast in the last 60 seconds, four of them by Freddie Hubalde, put Crispa ahead and beyond recall, 115–103, after the Silver Tamaraws briefly threatened with five minutes left in the ballgame.
A jumper by Cyrus Mann with 30 seconds left provided the Redmanizers the victory and sent the title series to a rubbermatch.
