1987 PBA Open Conference finals

[2] The Rhum Makers battled back from several 16-point deficits, rookie Allan Caidic's hot hands, finishing with a conference-best 48 points, and an overtime period to break Great Taste's record of not being defeated twice in a row this season.

Freddie Hubalde, who scored 33 points, sink a jumper to give Tanduay a 135–132 edge with 29 seconds left.

After a Great Taste timeout, a quick two points by Michael Young cut the deficit to just one, 134–135, but the Coffee Makers wasted so much time not fouling to stop the clock.

[3] Great Taste took an early 33–11 lead behind the perimeter shooting of Allan Caidic, Ricardo Brown and Michael Young.

Thirdkill split his free throws off Michael Young's fifth foul to place the Rhum Makers ahead by three, 113–110, with nine seconds remaining.
