Terrence Romeo virtually sealed the win for the Batang Pier with a floater with 28.7 seconds left in the game to give Globalport the 96-90 lead.

Defending MVP June Mar Fajardo would cut the lead to four, 96-92, with 25.3 seconds left but the two-possession lead was too much for San Miguel to overcome.
