Robert Jaworski played the game of his life last night as the Toyota Comets scrambled past the Crispa Denims, 98-95, in another classic encounter between the two teams in the PBA second conference at the Araneta Coliseum.

Jaworski hustled all night as he personally took charge of Toyota's frontlines, capping his fantastic show with two jumpshots in the last minute that gave the Comets an irreversible 98-93 bulge.

Teaming up well with Byron “Snake” Jones, the bulky, six-foot-one Jaworski, who fired 27 points, gave all he had as if it was his last game.
