[1][2] San Miguel Beermen captured their 16th PBA title, winning their finals series against the Barangay Ginebra Kings in six games.
Danny Ildefonso scored 15 of his career-high 32 points in the third quarter as the Beermen outscored the Gin Kings, 25–14, to take a 68–59 lead at the end of 36 minutes of play.
Ronald Magtulis' two offensive rebounds off missed shots by Vergel Meneses and Bal David with less than a minute left in the game preserve the Gin Kings in securing a two-point victory.
After Ildefonso's charities, rookie Mark Caguioa, who made a career-high 30 points, had a chance to push the game into second overtime but his three-pointer bounced off the rim as time expired.
The Beermen took a 50–39 halftime lead and there was no stopping San Miguel from thereon, dominating the boards and pulling away with a flurry of baskets in the third period to open a 19-point spread.
