‎FiberXers Snap Four-Game Skid With Statement Win


‎‎Converge finally shook off a brutal three-week slump, blasting Terrafirma, 120-103, this past Tuesday at the Ynares Center in Antipolo, as import Cameron Clark's debut and a candid team meeting sparked the turnaround the FiberXers desperately needed.

‎‎The rout snapped a four-game losing streak and helped Converge reclaim solo hold of the fourth quarterfinal spot in Group A at 4-4, while dropping Terrafirma to 3-5.

‎‎Coach Delta Pineda didn't sugarcoat how tough the stretch had been, admitting his squad's confidence had taken a beating through defeats to San Miguel, TNT, NLEX, and San Miguel again.

‎‎That skid forced Converge to shuffle imports twice, cycling from Jalen Hudson to Jamaal Franklin before settling on Clark, who erupted for 22 points, five boards, three steals, and two blocks in his very first game suiting up.

‎‎Beyond the import switch, Pineda credited a heart-to-heart huddle the team held after falling to San Miguel, where players openly discussed what needed fixing and whether everyone was truly playing for the team.

‎‎Terrafirma, meanwhile, never found its footing early, as Calvin Abueva and surprise starter Jaydee Tungcab powered the FiberXers' charge from the jump.

‎‎Import Justin Strings still filled the stat sheet for the Dyip with 28 points and 11 rebounds, but the win turned sour late when he reportedly tried to confront Abueva or Alec Stockton after the final buzzer, forcing officials from both benches to step in.

‎‎Converge carries its newfound momentum into the next stretch of Governors' Cup action, with San Miguel and Phoenix set to headline Wednesday's card at the same Antipolo venue.
