THE emotions haven't died down yet as heated words once again flew after Game 5 of the PBA Commissioner's Cup semifinal series between Barangay Ginebra and Rain or Shine.
Raymond Aguilar figured in a shouting match with import Jaylen Johnson as both teams were heading to their respective dugouts following the Kings' 111-104 win over the Elasto Painters on Friday night at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
WATCH:
Asked about the incident, Aguilar promptly replied, "No comment."
The shouting match came in the aftermath of a similar endgame confrontation between Ginebra governor Alfrancis Chua and Rain or Shine coach Yeng Guiao in Game 4.
Johnson likewise refused to talk about the verbal exchange with Aguilar.
Sources who heard the Aguilar-Johnson exchange said the two were talking about taking their grudge to the parking gate of the Big Dome afterwards.
Before Aguilar, the import was also caught on the television broadcast exchanging words with Ginebra team manager Reyboy Rodriguez.
Johnson finished with 22 points, 14 rebounds, and four assists, while shooting 10-of-19 from the field, but was 2-of-7 from three-point range as Rain or Shine fell to a 2-3 deficit in the best-of-seven series.
Aguilar was DNP for the game.
This marked the third time Johnson got entangled in a controversy following a punching incident with Glenn Khobuntin during his debut game against TNT, and later on a pointing episode involving Magnolia coach LA Tenorio.
