Reggie Fox played nine games in the Governors Cup and a hamstring injury forces Ginebra to replaced him with Fred Cofield going into their last two games in the eliminations. After two failed trips to the finals in the first two conferences, Ginebra finally advances into the championship round for the first time in five years by winning over the San Miguel Beermen, three games to one, in the best-of-five semifinal series. Ginebra went up against Grandslam-seeking Alaska Milkmen in the Governors Cup finals and lost in the title series in five games as the Milkmen achieved the distinction of winning a Grandslam.
