The Converge FiberXers aim to bounce back and solidify their playoff position as they face the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters on Tuesday, January 14, at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.

Both teams are coming off tough losses, making this matchup crucial in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup standings.

Converge, currently tied for fourth with a 6-3 record, is fresh off a tough 93-95 defeat to the TNT Tropang Giga.

 

Despite the loss, the FiberXers have been a force to reckon with, thanks to their dynamic trio of Jordan Heading, Alec Stockton, and Schonny Winston, who have consistently provided firepower and stability.

Converge will also lean on young talents Justin Arana and Justine Baltazar to battle an equally talented and deep Rain or Shine Elasto Painters squad, which features the likes of Adrian Nocum, Andrei Caracut, Leonard Santillan, and Keith Datu.

A victory against the Elasto Painters could propel the FiberXers further up the standings, making this a defining game in their campaign.

The game is set at 7:30 p.m.
