Occurrences

Red Bull Barako were tied with FedEx at 3–1 in the Group A standings of the Invitational Conference and gain the last berth in the crossover semifinals by way of a controversial ending in their game against Talk 'N Text, which the Phone Pals won 88–87, but needed to win by 8 points. The TNT players went to the extent of shooting on the Red Bull's goal while enjoying the lead in the closing seconds.

In the Reinforced Conference best-of-three quarterfinals series against Talk 'N Text, Red Bull lost in the deciding third game where guard Jimwell Torion put in a vicious clothesline on Phone Pal Jimmy Alapag with the outcome of the game beyond doubt, Torion's actions serve him an eight-month suspension.
