13th PBA title

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.
