Championship (Finals stint)

The Alaska Milkmen advances in the finals series for the first time in three years during the Commissioner's Cup, behind import Marques Bragg. The Milkmen top the eliminations with 9 wins and 2 losses and emerge with the league-best 14-5 record after the semifinal round. The Milkmen lost to the Purefoods Tender Juicy Hotdogs in the finals series in five games.

For the first time in five years, the Milkmen gambled on a new import Sean Gay in the third conference instead of Sean Chambers. Alaska lost two of their first three games in the Governor's Cup and the team decided to bring back old-hand Chambers to replace Gay. ^[1] The Milkmen return to the championship round, this time against the Swift Mighty Meaties. Sean Chambers led Alaska to their second PBA title and their first since they last won back in 1991, winning over Swift in six games.
