The 1992 PBA Third Conference Finals was the best-of-7 basketball championship series of the 1992 PBA Third Conference, and the conclusion of the conference playoffs. Swift Mighty Meaties and Seven-Up Uncolas played for the 53rd championship contested by the league.
Swift Mighty Meaties won their first PBA title with a 4-0 sweep over Seven-Up Uncolas, becoming only the second team to score a sweep in a best-of-seven championship series.
Nelson Asaytono, Al Solis and Ricric Marata combined for 59 points to take over from a shackled Tony Harris, who was limited to his lowest output of the conference with only 31 points. The Meaties were never seriously threatened after a hot third period in which they outscored Seven-Up, 14-8 in a span of four minutes to seize a 71-59 lead.
Tony Harris pumped in all but two of Swift's 23 points in the final period to salvaged a win. Harris capped his brilliant game with six straight points in the last 55 seconds to outlast the entire Seven-Up crew.
Swift broke the game apart in the third quarter under a 21-point barrage in a stretch of eight minutes to forge ahead at 88-75. Seven-Up could only come closest at 87-98, before falling back as many as 18 points, 91-109. The Meaties' local starters; Jack Tanuan, Nelson Asaytono, Rudy Distrito and Al Solis combined for 63 points while Tony Harris scored 49 points.
Seven-Up led at the end of the first quarter at 25-21, but the Meaties outscored them, 38-20 in the second period to take a 59-45 halftime lead. It was all Swift in the last 24 minutes of play as Tony Harris dominated, finishing with a triple-double of 58 points, 19 rebounds and 12 assists in a fitting finale on the last playing day of the PBA at the ULTRA.
