3rd PBA title 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. Coach Chot Reyes became the first rookie coach to steer his team to a title. The finals victory was the first by the Purefoods franchise over the Beermen in the championship series.
Runner-up finish Purefoods lost their first two games in the Commissioner's Cup with Anthony Dewayne Jones as their import. Jones was replaced by Carey Scurry, who led the Oodles to eight wins out of nine games he played. Starting the semifinal round, the Oodles decided to replace 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 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.
Awards Alvin Patrimonio won his second Most Valuable Player (MVP) trophy in three years. Jerry Codiñera and Alvin Patrimonio were named in the Mythical first team selection.
