Crispa, sparked by William Adornado and imports Ansley Truitt and Paul Mills, routed Toyota in the third quarter, 40-22, and went on to crush the Tamaraws, 129-108, last night at the Araneta Coliseum before some 25,000 fans who braved the stormy weather.
After trailing in the first two quarters, Baby Dalupan’s charges made fans forget about their loss to U-Tex last Thursday when they smashed the Tamaraws’ defense with impunity in the second half to win by a crushing margin.
Adornado, rounding back to his old form, and Mills engineered a crippling third-quarter blitz which razed a 53-49 Toyota halftime lead and started the defending champions to victory.
