Right from the opening buzzer, Tanduay seized control and never allowed the Coffee Makers to even take a lead for once, the Rhum Makers led by as much as 27 points in the third quarter and continued its dominance in the final period, coach Arturo Valenzona was already seen being given a victory ride halfway through the fourth quarter, Tanduay was up by 22 points, 114-92, and the Coffee Makers come no closer than 17 points at 100-117. Rob Williams punctuated the highlight reel of Tanduay's first championship by nailing a three-pointer at the buzzer.
