San Miguel Beer head coach Leo Austria lamented that the contentious call on Mo Tautuaa’s dunk ruined the beauty of the highly entertaining Game 1 of the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup Finals at the Araneta Coliseum, Sunday, July 13.
The Beermen battled back from a huge 24-point deficit behind a fiery 19-0 rally in the fourth quarter to take a one-point lead. SMB actually put itself in position to win after Tautuaas dunk attempt bounced the rim and then went in for a 98-97 advantage with 56 seconds left.
SMB’s lead however only last for 50 seconds as the PBA technical committee, following a review, rescinded the decision to count the basket due to what was deemed a offensive basket interference, putting the Beermen down by one, 96-97 with six ticks left on the clock
