The Converge FiberXers are eyeing a sixth win in the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup when they play against the NLEX Road Warriors.
Alec Stockton and Schonny Winston look to keep the fire burning as the Converge FiberXers try to halt the red-hot run of the NLEX Road Warriors in the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup on Friday, May 23.
The match begins at 5 p.m. at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig.

Fresh off a 111-92 victory over NorthPort, Converge improved to 5-3, riding the momentum of Stockton’s career night. The gritty guard erupted for 33 points, along with three rebounds, three assists, and two steals, delivering the kind of spark the FiberXers needed to bounce back.
Winston was just as critical, nearly posting a double-double with 22 points, nine boards, five dimes, and a steal as Converge snapped a two-game skid and reaffirmed its contender status.
But standing in their way is an NLEX squad on a five-game winning streak and peaking at the right time.
Still, with Stockton and Winston clicking, the FiberXers have the tools to take down one of the hottest teams in the league—and move closer to a potential top 4 finish.
