Should the series extend beyond Game 3, additional matches will be played at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Game 4 is scheduled on Dec. 11 and Game 5 if necessary, on Dec. 13. And regardless if the semifinal series ends within three games or not, the best-of-seven title series is already pegged on Dec. 13. On the other, should the title series go to full distance, the winner-take-all Game 7 will be held on Dec. 30.
