Scotty Hopson came through with another clutch four-pointer as Converge eked out a 100-99 escape against Terrafirma in a thrilling PBA Governors' Cup duel on at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 14.

With the Dyip down, 99-96, Hopson hit a familar shot from the left wing to give Converge the lead with just 2.5 ticks remaining.

Antonio Hester then had a chance to win the game for the Dyip but his last-gasp attempt rimmed out. 

 

The FiberXers thus kept their playoff hopes alive as they evened their record to 4-4 and stayed at fourth in the six-team Group A.

The Dyip, who were just reeling from a 98-99 defeat against Magnolia, suffered another one just two days later to stay luckless at 0-8.

Sadly for Terrafirma, the turnout was much like its match against the Hotshots where import Shabazz Muhammad delivered the heartbreaker in the dying seconds.

 The Scores: 

CONVERGE 100 – Winston 19, Hopson 18, Stockton 15, Arana 13, Santos 13, Delos Santos 9, Andrade 6, Cabagnot 3, Caralipio 2, Nieto 2, Ambohot 0.

TERRAFIRMA 99 – Hester 28, Hernandez 15, Cahilig 15, Pringle 14, Ferrer 8, Carino 8, Ramos 5, Hanapi 4, Sangalang 2, Olivario 0.

Quarterscores: 20-24, 40-52, 71-73, 100-99
