Coney Island won the All-Filipino Cup trophy by defeating the powerhouse San Miguel Beermen, four games to two, in the best-of-seven series.
Starting the semifinal round, the Oodles decided to replaced Scurry with Ronnie Grandison, who scored only nine points in his PBA debut as Purefoods lost to Swift, 88-90 on August 1.
The Oodles had to beat Alaska in the last day of the semifinals to earn a playoff for a finals berth.
The Oodles defeated the San Miguel Beermen, 119-101, in the knockout game and advance to the finals for the second time in the season.
They lost their bid for a second straight championship when they bowed to Ronnie Thompkins-powered Swift Mighty Meaties in six games for the Commissioner's Cup title.
