Danilo Florencio missed a jumpshot from the right wing with two seconds left last night and Toyota and Crispa fought to a 110-all stand-off in a surprisingly fierce exhibition game at the Araneta Coliseum.
Florencio, set up for what was intended to be the winning play following a Toyota timeout after Fortunato Co, Jr. had tied the score, took a hurried shot and the crowd of some 18,000 reacted with contrasting cheers and jeers.
That miss denied Florencio a touch of drama to his comeback, although he appeared as dependable as ever despite the obvious weight he has put on as a result of his long lay-off.
