Will top pick Justine Baltazar finally have his breakout game for the Converge FiberXers?
Regaining their winning connection, Justine Baltazar and the Converge FiberXers are hungry for more.
The FiberXers aim to build a winning streak in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup when Converge tangles with the Phoenix Fuel Masters in the Thursday's double-header, December 19.
Coming off a convincing 102-91 victory over the NLEX Road Warriors, Converge is riding high on confidence in hopes of securing win no. 4 in the mid-season tournament.
Jordan Heading put up his best performance yet with a 14-point, 11-assist outing against the Road Warriors for his first career double-double.

While Heading showed what he’s capable of, Converge is still waiting for Baltazar’s breakout game.
The top overall pick of the 2024 Draft is averaging just 4.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists in his first two games for the squad, mainly coming off the bench but started in the second half against NLEX in their last outing.
Tip-off is at 5:00 p.m.
