    RENALDO Balkman can only bite his tongue for so long.

    The San Miguel import turned to Twitter to vent on one of a number of controversial calls and non-calls that marred the Beermen's 87-83 loss to Ginebra in Game Five of the 2018 PBA Commissioner's Cup Finals on Sunday night.

    "I usually don’t post but cmon man what just happened tonight is unbelievable I’m sorry," Balkman tweeted with an accompanying photo of Ginebra guard Scottie Thompson and SMB's Arwind Santos in a loose ball scramble in the endgame.

    The photo shared by Balkman showed Thompson stepping out of bounds while holding the ball. Referees failed to spot the violation and instead called Santos out of bounds, handing Ginebra possession.

    San Miguel coaches and officials were also furious at the referees over one other play, convinced that Ginebra import Justin Brownlee travelled before dishing off to Thompson for the go-ahead basket, 84-83.
