Ramon Fernandez split his charities with 11 seconds left last night and Crispa escaped with a 111-110 victory over arch rival Toyota in the quarterfinal round of the PBA Reinforced All-Filipino Conference at the Araneta Coliseum.
With Crispa ahead by two, 111-109, the 6’4’’ ace, missed his second try on a foul by Bernard Fabiosa and Crispa import Allan Green skillfully dribbled away the last seconds to preserve the Redmanizers’ victory.
