Game 3 Uproar fuels bitter confrontationMANILA, Philippines — No matter the harsh words and public apology the morning after, this has become bitter and personal. With the win secured at 88-77, Meralco coach Norman Black called for a timeout which Barangay Ginebra mentor Tim Cone probably construed as a personal affront. Yes, I was upset about the timeout that was called late in the game, but there is no one in the PBA that I respect more than Norman Black. He didn’t shake my hands because he’s mad with the last timeout I called. We’ll try to correct our mistakes and bounce back from whatever defeats we may have,” said Black.
