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.

Crispa squandered a 16-point lead and had to do a lot of scrambling before coming through with a 98-91 win over Toyota that stretched its winning streak to 13 games in the PBA All-Filipino Conference at the Araneta Coliseum.

With Robert Jaworski missing the action with a foot injury, the Tamaraws looked real goners for more than two quarters but the old fire came back starting late in the third period to turn a rout into a thriller.
