Occurrences

[edit]

On July 1, Crispa coach Tommy Manotoc, citing health reasons, resigns after leading the Redmanizers to the All-Filipino Conference finals by winning over Northern (NCC), 96-94. Assistant coach Narciso Bernardo takes over as Crispa's head mentor.[2]

13th PBA title

[edit]

The Crispa Redmanizers captured their 13th and final PBA crown by winning the First All-Filipino Conference title over Gilbey's Gin, four games to one. Coach Narciso Bernardo won his first title with the Redmanizers.

Last finals stint

[edit]

The Redmanizers return to the finals in the Invitational Championship. Crispa played Great Taste in the best-of-five finale. The Redmanizers lost Game one by a rout, but won the next two games to move within a win of capturing another title. The Coffee Makers came back with a victory in Game four to tie the series and force a deciding fifth game.

On December 18, the Redmanizers trailed by as many as 28 points in the final quarter of Game five and lost to Great Taste, 106-127, in what turn out to be the final game of the winningest ballclub in the league.
