Crispa foiled Toyota’s bid to clinch the fourth and last semifinal berth in the PBA Open Conference last night when the Redmanizers ran down the Superdiesels, 109-101, before some 20,000 fans at the Araneta Coliseum.
After a slow start, Baby Dalupan’s charges took control of the match late in the first quarter, roared ahead by 24 points in the third period and then quelled two Toyota uprisings in the final frame to score the convincing victory.
