The Redmanizers started the third period with a 9–0 run to take the upper hand, 63–61, after Joey Marquez tied the count, an 18–0 barrage by Crispa gave them an 81–63 lead.
In the third period, Jaworski's basket makes it 65–53 for Gilbeys, but he committed his fourth personal foul on a driving Atoy Co with 7:57 in the third, coach Arturo Valenzona sent Alex Clarino for the Big J.
With barely three minutes gone in the third quarter, Sonny Jaworski takes a crack at his three-point shot and scores as Gilbey's finally cut down Crispa's lead to a single digit, 62–54.
The inbound play of Gilbey's was a little shaky as Arnaiz use up so much time as possible and snaps off a premature shot far out, it bounces off the rim and lands into the hands of a Crispa defender.
Joey Marquez seals the fate of the Gin Tonics by committing a foul on Bernie Fabiosa, who sinks both free throws for a four-point spread with 34 seconds left in the ballgame.
