RENALDO Balkman and Joe Devance got into a shoving match at halftime of Game Four as tempers flared in the PBA Commissioner’s Cup Finals between San Miguel and Barangay Ginebra.
The incident occurred after Balkman scored just before the halftime buzzer, with television replays catching Balkman and Devance bumping into one other while on their way to the tunnel leading to the dugout.
Balkman was caught by television cameras pushing Devance, sparking the commotion between the two before teammates and security men of the Smart Araneta Coliseum jumped in to break up the commotion.
The Beermen were trailing, 67-52, at halftime.
The altercation added color to the already tense finals series that already saw Arwind Santos and Chris Ross being ejected in Game Two for two separate incidents.
