The Part III of the Red Lions–Stags rivalry started when the Red Lions won 75–63 in Game One. In Game Two of the Finals, there was a hard-fought battle when they outscored the Stags in the low-scoring fourth quarter, 9–5, as Pascual missed a three-point field goal that could have won over the Red Lions as the Red Lions won, 57–55, to get their 16th championship, tying Letran.
