Defending champion Crispa relied on steady foul shooting in the homestretch last night to roll back Toyota, 112-105, and boost its semifinal bid in the PBA second conference.
The victory — a repeat of the Redmanizers’ 129-108 win over the Tamaraws in the first round of eliminations — gave the defending titlists sole possession of third place with a 7-4 record behind pacesetting Tanduay (8-2) and U-Tex (7-4).
The loss dropped the Tamaraws to a tie for fourth place with idle Royal Tru-Orange with identical 6-5 records.
