Toyota backed up its advantage in teamwork with sharp outside shooting by Robert Jaworski last night to roll back Crispa Walk Tall, 112-107, in the openers of the PBA first conference at the Araneta Coliseum.
Jaworski collected nine of his 22 points on hits from beyond the 22-foot marker for three-point field goals while Andrew Fields and Bruce “Sky” King outplayed the still adjusting Crispa duo of Glen Mosley and Sylvester Cuyler.
It was, however, the Jeansmakers’ inability to come out with clutch hits that finally decided the outcome of the exciting match played before some 20,000 fans.
