Purefoods was able to escape early elimination after beating the Welcoat Dragons in the last elimination round game. James Yap scored 41 points to lead the Giants to the wildcard phase, only to be knocked out by the Coca-Cola Tigers where he scored 40 points, which equaled former PBA player Nelson Asaytono's record of scoring 40+ points in back-to-back games, but failed to deliver the win for the team. For his efforts, Yap was picked by Chot Reyes to be part of the national team to play for the 2007 FIBA Asia Championship in Tokushima, Japan where the Philippines finished ninth out of the 16 teams.
