Converge looks to follow up on its sensational Game 3 win over San Miguel as the FiberXers look to stay alive in the PBA Governors' Cup playoffs.
There’s a chance?
The Converge FiberXers will look to build on their stunning Game 3 victory as they face the San Miguel Beermen in Game 4 of the PBA Season 49 Governors' Cup quarterfinals on October 4 at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.
Despite coming off a high from the previous game, Converge still trails the series 1-2 and will need a second stunner to force sudden death.
Converge's incredible 48-point fourth quarter in Game 3 led to a dramatic 114-112 comeback win, highlighted by Alec Stockton’s buzzer-beating jumper.

Stockton was obviously instrumental, finishing with 20 points, seven rebounds, and eight assists, while also staying in the game after a flagrant foul penalty 2 against him earlier in the game was downgraded.
His heroics completed a comeback from 27 points down, one of the most remarkable turnarounds of these PBA Governors’ Cup playoffs.

Justin Arana also had a strong performance, leading the team with 23 points despite battling a knee injury sustained in Game 2.
Arana’s resilience, along with Stockton’s clutch play, helped Converge secure its first playoff win since becoming a PBA franchise in 2022.
With their backs against the wall, the FiberXers will need another all-out effort to keep their playoff hopes alive. The confidence gained from their Game 3 win could be the spark they need to challenge the powerhouse Beermen once
again.
Tip off for Game 4 will be at 7:30 p.m. Friday.
