Converge will look to score its first PBA playoff win over San Miguel in Game 3 of the PBA Season 49 Governors' Cup quarterfinals.
The Converge FiberXers find themselves in a do-or-die situation as they take on the San Miguel Beermen in Game 3 of the PBA Season 49 Governors' Cup quarterfinals on September 30 at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.
Trailing 0-2 in the best-of-5 series, Converge is in desperate need of a win to extend the series and avoid a sweep.
Despite Jalen Jones delivering a standout performance in Game 2 with 36 points and 12 rebounds, the FiberXers fell short in a 107-100 loss.
Jones has been a bright spot for Converge, but the team will need more contributions across the board to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Alec Stockton provided 14 points in the Game 2 loss, while former Rookie of the Year Justin Arana added 12 points.
However, Arana’s status for Game 3 remains in doubt after injuring his right knee late in the second game, an absence that could be a significant blow to Converge’s frontcourt.

Converge also faces the daunting challenge of snapping a five-game playoff losing skid to San Miguel, dating back to their franchise’s entry into the PBA in 2022.
The FiberXers will need to dig deep and find a way to outmatch a red-hot San Miguel team if they hope to turn the series around.
Tip off for Game 3 will be at 7:30 p.m.
