The Converge FiberXers look to sustain their rise among PBA contenders as they take on defending Philippine Cup champion Meralco Bolts.
Top overall pick Justine Baltazar and Jordan Heading take center stage as Converge opens its PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup campaign against defending champion Meralco Bolts on Friday, April 4, at 7:30 p.m. at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.
After finishing dead last in last year’s All-Filipino, the FiberXers used their top draft pick wisely and have since turned a corner.
With Baltazar arriving mid-season, and the marquee transaction to land Heading, Converge reached the playoffs in both the Governors’ and Commissioner’s Cups this season and coming just a win shy of the semifinals in each.
Now facing the ultimate measuring stick in Meralco, Converge hopes its blend of rising talent and newfound grit can finally translate into a breakthrough in the league’s toughest, import-free conference.
