- A team wins both rounds. In that case, the winning team automatically wins the championship.
- A third team has a better cumulative record than both finalists. In that case, the third team has to win in a playoff against the team that won the second round to face the team that won in the first round in a best-of-3 finals series.

Ronald Peña pumped in five of his 15 points in an 11-2 Letran run midway in the final half and another five at the height of San Sebastian rally late in the contest to put the Knights ahead, 87-77, with 2:25 remaining. [4]
Game 2[]
- Finals Most Valuable Player: Gilbert Castillo
Ronald Peña, chosen the season's Most Valuable Player, topscored for the Knights with 22 points, and Gilbert Castillo added 19. From a 77-all deadlock, the game broke wide open on a 15-5 run by the Knights, engineered by Peña. A power outrage hit the area with 42 seconds left.
