Game was tied 96-all when the Phonepals worked the clock to set up Cardona for the game-winning shot. Cardona atoned for his miserable game 1 performance wherein he only scored 4 points.

Asi Taulava, Harvey Carey and Yancy de Ocampo were monstrous on the boards, grabbing a combined total of 34 caroms. Mark Caguioa had 31 points to pace the Gin Kings in a losing cause.
