The first two games of the series will be played in New York at Madison Square Garden, with the third and fourth games being played in Philadelphia at the Wells Fargo Center. If necessary, a fifth game will be played in New York, a sixth game will be played in Philadelphia, and a seventh game will be played in New York.
