In the third period, Jaworski's basket makes it 65–53 for Gilbeys, but he committed his fourth personal foul on a driving Atoy Co with 7:57 in the third, coach Arturo Valenzona sent Alex Clarino for the Big J.

The third quarter ended with Crispa on top, 80–76. The fourth quarter resulted to eight deadlocks with the last at 98-all. With 1:53 left in the ballgame and Gilbey's up by a point, 102–101, a rare four-point play by Steve Watson enabled the Gin Tonics to break away, a lay-up by Willie Generalao on a fastbreak put Gilbey's lead to seven, 108–101, with 1:09 remaining. Game 4 #eee July 15 Araneta Coliseum, Quezon City Vintage Crispa Redmanizers |score1=115 Gilbey's Gin Tonics 109 30–20 26–22 24–37 35–30 Abet Guidaben 37 From a 56–42 halftime lead by Crispa, the Gin Tonics made a torrid comeback behind Francis Arnaiz and Steve Watson. With barely three minutes gone in the third quarter, Sonny Jaworski takes a crack at his three-point shot and scores as Gilbey's finally cut down Crispa's lead to a single digit, 62–54. The Gin Tonics tied the count at 73-all with 2:54 left in the third period. In the fourth quarter, Arnaiz throws an outlet pass to Joey Marquez to forge the last tie at 109-all. Abet Guidaben breaks the deadlock and give Crispa a two-point lead, 111–109, Gilbey's calls for a timeout with one minute left. The inbound play of Gilbey's was a little shaky as Arnaiz use up so much time as possible and snaps off a premature shot far out, it bounces off the rim and lands into the hands of a Crispa defender. Joey Marquez seals the fate of the Gin Tonics by committing a foul on Bernie Fabiosa, who sinks both free throws for a four-point spread with 34 seconds left in the ballgame.
