Philip Cezar sent the game into overtime with two foul shots with one second left last night and then scored the winning goal in the extension to lift Crispa to a 105-103 victory over arch rival Toyota in the PBA Open Conference at the Araneta Coliseum.
The win, which gave Crispa a 61-56 edge over Toyota in their own private series in the play-for-pay loop, served as a consolation for the Redmanizers who had failed to win a single title this season, duplicating their shutout in 1978.
