Occurrences

Toyota's Robert Jaworski and Crispa's Rudy Soriano were suspended in Game two for deliberately punching fellow players in the previous game of the championship series. Soriano blooded Ramon Fernandez' nose in a rebound scramble while Jaworski retaliated for Fernandez by hitting Soriano. Both were also fined aside from the one-game suspension. [1]

Crispa coach Baby Dalupan is fined P200 and suspended for one game after banging together the heads of referees Remigio Bartolome and Feliciano Santarina after the Redmanizers' Game 3 loss to Toyota.

On that same day on November 21, the PBA board rejects Crispa team manager Danny Floro's request for a change of referees. With Toyota leading the series, two games to one, following a 115–102 victory in Game three, the Redmanizers did not show up for Game four, therefore, the PBA forfeited the game and the championship series in favor of Toyota.

The Crispa-Toyota rivalry was between the now-defunct PBA teams — the Crispa Redmanizers and the Toyota Tamaraws. The two teams dominated the PBA from 1975 to 1983, winning 21 out of the possible 26 PBA titles of those seasons. Such was their popularity that whenever these two teams met on the basketball court, the streets of Metro Manila and in the provinces would be virtually deserted, as most people especially the PBA fans, would be tuned to their TV and radio sets, watching or listening to the coverage of the game.
