Games summary
Game 1
Presto Tivolis, getting the big plays from Arnie Tuadles and Zaldy Realubit, frustrated the Hotdogs, who failed to cash in on their winning plays in the dying seconds. Alvin Patrimonio muffed a gift shot, failing to complete a three-point play and preventing the Hotdogs from taking a crucial one-point lead in the final 30 seconds. Arnie Tuadles scored underneath the basket with the foul from Patrimonio, giving the Tivolis a 97–95 lead with 14 seconds left, Tuadles missed his bonus free throw but Zaldy Realubit outwitted Jerry Codinera for the rebound and stretch in for a lay-up and fished a foul from Codinera to seal the game. The Tivolis had their largest lead of 13 points at 62–49 in the third quarter, the Hotdogs erased that deficit with Nelson Asaytono erupting with 17 of his night-high 27 points in the fourth quarter as Purefoods came closer to within a point, 87–88, with 4:38 remaining.
Game 2
In the third period, the Hotdogs with Jack Tanuan playing quality minutes and relieving Jerry Codinera, took a commanding 21-point lead several times with the last at 97–76, Gerry Esplana and Allan Caidic rallied the Tivolis back in the game and were only down by 12 going into the fourth quarter. Presto looks set for a come-from-behind win and a 2–0 series advantage after Caidic put the Tivolis ahead, 124–123, with five seconds remaining and Esplana broke up a fastbreak by the Hotdogs with two second left. Presto coach Jimmy Mariano committed the biggest blunder of the series by calling a timeout on the Hotdogs' possession, allowing them to regroup despite having no more timeouts. On the Hotdogs' inbound play, Jerry Codinera fielded a wayward inbound pass and converted at the buzzer.
Game 3
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.
Game 4
The Hotdogs padded their lead to 100–88 at the end of the third quarter as Bernie Fabiosa took over Dindo Pumaren's playmaking chores for 20 quality minutes. Allan Caidic managed to score 32 points, including six triples, but for a moment lost his temper on the face of Glenn Capacio's leech-like guarding. Purefoods outrebounded Presto, 50–31.
Game 5
Experience once again took over for Presto in the decisive last six minutes as coach Jimmy Mariano fielded in Willie Generalao, who quarterbacked the Tivolis' stirring offensive as they outscored the Hotdogs, 14–6. Abe King smothered two attempts by Alvin Patrimonio in that telling stretch and soared high for a tip-in that gave Presto a 116–113 lead, going into the last three minutes of the game.
Game 6
Purefoods raced to a 21–6 lead early and took the half at 63–49. A triple by Al Solis during the third quarter started a 9–0 run that gave the Hotdogs their biggest lead of 27 points at 80–53, the closest the Tivolis came within was 14 points early in the fourth period at 96–82, Jojo Lastimosa quickly scored on a jumper and a 7–0 blast put the Hotdogs on top by 21 points, 103–82.[1]
Game 7
The final game of the series, the odds were stacked in favor of Purefoods to win the All-Filipino title as Presto Tivolis were faced with a tough task of playing without its number one gunner, Allan Caidic. In Game Six, Caidic injured his left hand while trying to ballhawk off Glenn Capacio. Before that unfortunate incident, Caidic was averaging 29 points a game in the titular series. Right from the opening buzzer, the Tivolis allowed the Hotdogs to take the lead only once at 4–3 when a 10–0 burst gave Presto a nine-point spread at 13–4. From a 19–19 standoff, Arnie Tuadles and Onchie dela Cruz combined in a searing breakaway to give Presto a 42–27 lead en route to a 43–35 halftime advantage.
Successive triples by Naning Valenciano and Glenn Capacio cut the Tivolis' lead to four early in the third quarter, 45–49, but Abe King, Arnie Tuadles and Willie Generalao sparked another scoring salvo that made it a 16-point bulge, 67–51, with 2:56 left in the third. The Hotdogs tried to employ a trapping fullcourt press, the ploy only got them to within nine points, 71–80, as the Tivolis couldn't seem to do anything wrong on the offensive end of the floor. Arnie Tuadles was picture-perfect in scoring a game-high 33 points before fouling out with 3:57 remaining, Presto up by 15 points, 95–80, Manny Victorino capitalized on the loss of Purefoods center Jerry Codinera, who saw action for only seven minutes after having tested positive for viral hepatitis, Jack Tanuan and Gido Babilonia were dismal flops in Game Seven as they tried to fill in the shoes of Codinera, while Nelson Asaytono couldn't get his game going and was limited to only three points on 1-of-8 shooting from the field.[2]
