At the end of the six-game finals series, Perez averaged 18 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 3.2 steals.
Perez became the first player since Scottie Thompson of Barangay Ginebra during the 2021-22 PBA Governors’ Cup to win the Best Player of the Conference and the Finals MVP jointly for the first time.
