Grand Finals

Preliminary round

Pool A

Pool B

The game between Barangay Ginebra San Miguel and Platinum Karaoke was initially delayed as smoke filled up the court. Players, coaches, and other personnel were evacuated from the court as firefighters responded to the scene. It was later determined to be caused by a fire breaking out in one area of the arena. The aforementioned game and the scheduled knockout stage games were subsequently postponed.[10] The remaining games were rescheduled on April 27 at the Ynares Sports Arena.[11]
