The 2014 Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Commissioner's Cup finals was the best-of-5 championship series of the 2014 PBA Commissioner's Cup, and the conclusion of the conference's playoffs. The Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters and the San Mig Super Coffee competed for the 14th Commissioner's Cup championship and the 111th overall championship contested by the league. The format was shortened to a best-of-5 format instead of the usual best-of-7 due to changes in the season calendar to accommodate Gilas Pilipinas's participation in the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup and the 2014 Asian Games.[1]
This championship was also the first PBA finals series that aired in high-definition television for Cignal Digital TV subscribers.[2]
Prior the finals series, Talk 'N Text had a 13-0 record,[3] sweeping both the elimination (nine games)[4] and playoff (four games) rounds.[5] San Mig Super Coffee however won the championship after defeating Talk 'N Text in their finals series, 3-1.[6][7]
