Converge (4–2) is eager to recover after a 90–96 defeat to San Miguel last time out.
Schonny Winston led the FiberXers with 20 points, seven rebounds, and four assists, while Justin Arana (19 points, 10 rebounds) and Justine Baltazar (14 points, 19 rebounds) both tallied double-doubles.
Gomez de Liaño, who made waves early in the conference with two Player of the Game performances—including two triple-doubles—was held to just eight points in the loss.
The rookie playmaker will aim to bounce back and steer Converge to a crucial win that could help them stay in the upper half of the standings.
Meanwhile, Blackwater (1–4) continues to struggle, having lost four straight games.
The Bossing are coming off a 97–86 setback against Titan Ultra and are desperate to rediscover their early-season form.
