Purefoods choke anew at the stretch as it gave up a 15-point lead in the second quarter. The Tivolis got a big lift for the second time from Arnie Tuadles, who completed a three-point play and score a field goal to convert a 107–110 deficit into a 112–110 edge with 22 seconds left to play. The Hotdogs lost its chance to score in the next play when Nelson Asaytono bungled an inbound pass.
