The knockout championship match between Capital1 and Smart as well as the battle for third between Say Chiz and SGA are set next Monday.
Reuben Terrado scored 10 points including a jumper that gave the twice-to-beat armed Sports Scribes a one-point lead, 54-53, with under five seconds left in the extra period of the first match.
Cedelf Tupas, battling sickness, hoisted the final shot but his off-balanced release missed the mark as Smart emerged triumphant in the tightly-contested ball game.
Smart and Say Chiz went toe-to-toe especially in the final frame, trading baskets until Bobby Andaya nailed a jumper that made it a 52-50 advantage for the Sports Scribes in the waning seconds.
