TNT big man Poy Erram had another outburst late in the third quarter of Game Two of their PBA Commissioner's Cup Finals on Sunday night which Barangay Ginebra won, 71-70, at the Mall of Asia Arena.
The veteran big man apparently lost his cool when he was whistled for his fourth personal foul against Ginebra import Justin Brownlee with three minutes left in the period and the Kings up by six points.

It didn't help that coach Chot Reyes appeared to question Erram's decision to foul the Ginebra import as the Tropang Giga were returning to their bench following a timeout.
As the Tropang Giga gathered in a huddle during the break, Erram left the team bench and kicked the TNT cart and the jug of water on his way out.
It will be remembered that Erram figured in an in-game spat with teammate Glenn Khobuntin in Game 3 of TNT's semifinal series against Rain or Shine last March 2.
An eyewitness said Erram also kicked the dugout door open before spending a few minutes inside to cool himself down.
WATCH:
The 35-year-old center returned to the bench just before the fourth quarter began and fielded back by Reyes with seven minutes to go.
Erram finished with six points and five rebounds in 24 minutes of play.

Prior to the incident, Ginebra fans again taunted the TNT big man with chants of 'Iyakin, iyakin,' following the foul against Brownlee.
Erram responded by mockingly putting his right hand on his eye as if he was wiping away his tears, while sticking his tonque out.
He then raised both his arms as if encouraging the Ginebra crowd to keep on mocking him while walking toward the TNT bench.
