The iconic Crispa Redmanizers made history on this day in 1976, capturing the PBA’s first grand slam by virtue of its Game 5 rout of arch rival Toyota to rule the season-ending All-Philippine Championship.
Atoy Co’s 39 points proved to be the difference maker as the Redmanizers became the first team to come back from a 0-2 deficit and win a best-of-five championship series.
The following is a game story written by Ding Marcelo for the Dec. 22, 1976 issue of Bulletin Today.

Forty years ago today saw one of the most shocking moments in PBA history when Toyota prevented archrival Crispa from clinching the All-Filipino Conference crown before a packed crowd at the Araneta Coliseum.
The game was significant for two reasons as Toyota not only denied Crispa of completing an unprecedented 20-game sweep of the season’s final conference but also won after team manager Pablo Carlos fired coach Fort Acuna at halftime.
Acuna’s sacking came after benching ace guard Robert Jaworski in the first half of the game Toyota needed to stay alive in the series, prompting Carlos to pull the trigger.
