The Converge FiberXers are riding high on a two-game winning streak as they face the struggling San Miguel Beermen on Friday, January 24, at the Ynares Center in Antipolo.

Tip-off for this pivotal PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup clash is set for 7:30 p.m.

With an impressive 8-3 record, Converge is firmly in the playoff picture and is pushing to secure a twice-to-beat advantage heading into the quarterfinals.

The FiberXers have displayed consistent form throughout the tournament and will look to maintain their momentum against the Beermen, who are desperate to stay in the hunt for a place in the postseason.

Led by a formidable young local crew featuring Jordan Heading, Alec Stockton, and Schonny Winston, Converge has been relentless in both offense and defense. Import Cheick Diallo continues to anchor the team, delivering inside presence and key contributions on both ends of the floor.

Though facing a San Miguel squad that has stumbled to a 4-6 record, Converge cannot afford to let up.

The Beermen, despite their struggles, remain a dangerous opponent with June Mar Fajardo and a host of capable players eager to turn their season around.

For Converge, this game is a chance to further cement their position among the league's elite while putting one step closer to a coveted playoff advantage.
