Sporting a 4-3 record, Converge is eager to move past its disappointing 66-85 loss to Barangay Ginebra last Saturday at the Bren Z. Guiao Convention Center.
Known for their fast-paced style, the FiberXers struggled to find their rhythm, shooting just 31.3% from the field as Ginebra’s defense clamped down hard.
Despite the setback, Justine Baltazar delivered a solid effort with 13 points, 10 rebounds, a steal, and two blocks, while the rest of the squad looks to regain their offensive groove.
They’ll have a prime opportunity to do so against a NorthPort side that has lost four straight games and sits at 1-4.
Converge will be looking to reassert their might and size as it seeks to stay in playoff position with just a few games left in the elimination round.
