                    [Summary] => The year 2001 will be memorable in many ways for the tumult it brought to Philippine basketball, both for the good and the bad. So many things transpired that forced us to take a close look at ourselves and, for many, to seek a life away from the game.


The year began with the fight between two factions claiming leadership of the Basketball Association of the Philippines, a fight carried over from mid-November of the year before. Simultaneously, the PBA draft pulled in over 30 players from the downscaled MBA, in the most promising pool of talent since 1989.

Determinado ang Blades, na lumasap ng 63-84 pagkatalo sa balwarte ng Knights noong Hulyo 29, na maipaghiganti ang kabiguang ito sa kanilang sariling lupain na ang kanilang panalo ay maglalapit sa kanila sa pinto ng kauna-unahang finals appearance.

Rookie Peter Simon and veteran Romy dela Rosa, formerly of Negros, hit the biggest baskets of the game while Michael Mañigo helped preserve the victory by nailing two crucial charities down the stretch. 


It was the first victory after five straight defeats for the Eagles while the loss was the second against five wins for the Slashers.
