| Formula Shell Zoom Masters 62, Añejo Rum 65ers 47 (forfeit) | ||
| Scoring by quarter: 40-26, 22-21 | ||
| Shell wins series, 4-2 |
A series of turnovers by the 65ers enabled the Zoom Masters to launch a 13-0 bomb that parlayed a rather slim 26–21 lead to a 39-21 bubble en route to a 40-26 count at the close of the first quarter. Sylvester Gray banged in 12 of Añejo's first 19 points in the second quarter, cutting the Shell lead down to a single digit, 45–53, but then Gray was whistled for his fourth personal with 5:42 before halftime. The Añejo import got his fifth as he tried to snatch the ball away from Paras with 4:01 before lemontime.
With the score pegged at 62-47 for Shell with 2:52 remaining in the second quarter, Bobby Parks squeezed in between Rey Cuenco and Dante Gonzalgo, and referee Rudy Hines slapped Cuenco with his fourth personal and from complaining too much, Rey Cuenco got a technical and this seemed to irked him more as he tapped referee Rudy Hines' nape, earning him his second technical and was ejected for the ballgame. Following an Añejo timeout and a commercial break, Añejo playing coach Robert Jaworski went to the officials table as photographers and cameramen were all over him. An angered and pre-dominantly Añejo gallery began throwing all sorts of debris that rained on the hardcourt and play had to be stopped. The 65ers went to their locker room with team manager Bernabe Navarro leading the walkout and the Zoom Masters also going to their locker. PBA Commissioner Rudy Salud gave both teams 10 minutes to get back to the hardcourt. The Shell team went back but the 65ers did not return. Commissioner Salud then gave two 90-second ultimatum for Añejo but the 65ers were never to be seen again. It was only then the Zoom Masters were declared champions by game forfeiture. [1]
Due to the walkout, Añejo did not claim their runner-up trophy for this championship series. The trophy is currently displayed at the PBA's head office in Libis, Quezon City. [2]
