Crispa paraded its tall guys practically throughout last night to seize control of the slot and crush Toyota, 111-101, before some 20,000 fans at the Araneta Coliseum.

Statistics showed the Redmanizers were ahead over the Tamaraws by a single rebound — 55-54 — but what was not shown was the intimidating presence of Romulo Mamaril and company that to take hurried shots from outside.
