Summary

San Miguel had signed up Norman Black, who played for the disbanded Tefilin ballclub in the previous conference from last season, as their import for all three conferences of the 1982 PBA season. The Beermen emerge with the best record in the elimination phase of the Reinforced Filipino Conference with 13 wins and five losses. San Miguel went on to play the U/tex Wranglers in the best-of-five semifinal series, winning three games to one, to enter the finals against the Toyota Super Corollas. [1] The Beermen led the series by winning the first two games, but Toyota came back to win the championship that went to a full limit of seven games.

In the five-team Asian Invitational Championship that includes a visiting squad from South Korea, the Beermen were on their second straight finals appearance in the season, they played the Crispa Redmanizers in the best-of-three title series. San Miguel beat Crispa, 103-102, in the deciding third game to win the Invitational title and their second PBA crown.

Norman Black would teamed up with Terry Sykes in the Open Conference. Sykes was replaced by Marvin Johnson after the Beermen lost their first two games. Johnson played five games in the elimination phase until former import Aaron James was recalled back and played together with Norman Black for the rest of the conference. San Miguel finish the elimination phase with 10 wins and eight losses and advances to the semifinal round along with Toyota and early qualifiers N-Rich Coffee and Gilbey's by posting a 2-1 won-loss slate in the quarterfinal round and winning their do-or-die encounter with U/tex. In the semifinal round, the Beermen lost to Gilbey's Gin, 101-102, in their last assignment on December 7 and failed to create a four-way tie for the two finals berth.
