Crispa gave Toyota one of its most rough beatings in their fabled rivalry last night, 118-109, as the Jeanmakers moved significantly to a share of the lead at the halfway mark of the PBA Invitational at the Araneta Coliseum.

Moving about with the smoothness of a finely tuned orchestra, the Jeansmakers exploded with unbelievable accuracy in the third quarter where they anchored their victory as the Tamaraws never regained their bearings after falling behind, 75-89, going into the last quarter.
