James Yap won his second consecutive finals Most Valuable Player award on Wednesday after leading the San Mig Super Coffee Mixers to the Governors' Cup title.

The superstar wingman scored 29 points, including a series of clutch baskets, in the clinching Game Five, putting the final touches in a brilliant series that saw him average 16.2 points and 4.4 rebounds against the tough Rain or Shine Elasto Painters defense.

He also won MVP honors when the Mixers won the Commissioner's Cup last March.

It was the fourth time Big Game James shone brightest in the biggest stage of Philippine basketball. He also won the finals MVP trophy in the 2010 Philippine Cup and the 2012 Commissioner's Cup.

San Mig Coffee completed a rare Grand Slam after winning all three PBA titles this season. The Mixers won the last four league titles dating back to their title victory in this same tournament last year. - JST, GMA News
