“I recommend consistency with the calls. We know we can beat them, but if you don’t get the breaks from officiating, there’s no way any team can beat them.”
Earlier in the series, Guiao was also slapped with a P20,000 penalty for getting into a scuffle with San Miguel Beer guard Chris Ross.
Rain or Shine deputy Mike Buendia and assistant team manager Jay Legacion were also fined P5,000 for leaving the bench during the fracas, which involved Gabe Norwood and Arwind Santos near the end of the 105-92 San Miguel blowout win.
