Sophomore quintet Perpetual Help Altas could have sweep the second round if not for the loss to San Sebastian Stags in their last outing. Letran managed to force a tie for first place with the Atlas and a playoff ensued with the Knights winning comfortably, 100–79, to arrange a championship setto with defending champions San Sebastian for the third time in five years.
Letran showed up with only 10 players. Their 11th man Salvador Ramos was disqualified from playing right from the start of the league after it was found out that he had already graduated.
Letran dictated the tempo early, leading by as many as 13 points in one stage, 46–33. The Knights survived the Stags' spirited rally in the last two minutes to win.[1]
