The FiberXers (3-1) are riding a two-game winning streak and are eyeing a share of second place — or possibly even the top spot — depending on the result of the NLEX-Ginebra matchup later in the evening.
Their latest win came in explosive fashion, a 128-114 triumph over Phoenix, where Converge’s youth and pace were on full display.
Stockton led the way with 22 points, three rebounds, and two assists, while Juan Gomez de Liaño continued his stellar all-around play with 19 points, 12 assists, four rebounds, and two steals.
Justin Arana and Schonny Winston added 17 points each, while Justine Baltazar contributed a double-double of 13 points and 12 rebounds.

With their dynamic young core firing on all cylinders, Converge looks to make a statement against the Beermen (2-2), who are fresh off a close 83-81 win over Ginebra in Dubai but will miss Don Trollano and Jericho Cruz due to illness.
A win for Converge would further cement their rise as one of the most exciting and dangerous teams in the tournament.
