Jordan Heading and the rest of the Converge FiberXers target a winning start of a busy stretch through Christmas in the PBA Commissioner's Cup.
The Converge FiberXers aim to regroup and get back in the win column when they tangle against the NLEX Road Warriors Tuesday in the PBA Commissioner's Cup.
Converge is coming off a tough 108-101 loss against the unbeaten NorthPort Batang Pier last December 12, spoiling the debut of no. 1 pick Justin Baltazar.

The loss put the FiberXers to an even 2-2 win-loss record in the this mid-season tournament.
Baltazar, the top pick of this season's Draft, finally made his PBA debut and finished with five points, four rebounds, and three assists in 20 minutes of action. The former DLSU finally joined the FiberXers following his MPLB stint with Pampanga.

Meanwhile, Jordan Heading put up his best scoring game in the PBA, dropping a conference-high 30 points, including 10 in a fiery fourth-quarter performance that ultimately fell short of a victory.
Against an also bounce-back seeking NLEX (3-2) side, the FiberXers aim to start the new week strong with a hectic schedule. Converge will next meet Phoenix, Ginebra, and Meralco through Christmas following the clash against the Road Warriors.
Game time is 5:00 p.m. from the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.
