2022 PBA Philippine Cup Finals
The 2022 Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Philippine Cup Finals was a best-of-7 championship series of the 2022 PBA Philippine Cup, and the conclusion of the conference's playoffs. The San Miguel Beermen and the TNT Tropang Giga competed for the 44th Philippine Cup championship and the 131st overall championship contested by the league. A rematch of the 2019 Commissioner's Cup Finals, where the 7-seeded Beermen upset the top-seeded TNT Tropang Giga (then known as TNT KaTropa), San Miguel defeated TNT in seven hard-fought games to win their 28th title in franchise history. Having previously defeated the Magnolia Hotshots last year, TNT entered the series as the defending Philippine Cup champions. June Mar Fajardo was named the Finals MVP for this series. Background
