Converge regained its bearings just in time on Wednesday and pulled the rug from under San Miguel, 100-97, in the PBA Philippine Cup.
The FiberXers squandered an 18-point cushion but got their act together at Ninoy Aquino Stadium in the most opportune time to claim its seventh win in the race.
Schonny Winston had 25 points for the telco club, which denied the Beermen, perennial title contenders in the league’s crown-jewel showcase, a chance at tabbing the No. 1 seed.
His total output was his second to his career-best 26, which he also posted against the traditional powerhouse.
Converge thus improved to 7-4, with a twice-to-beat edge still within reach.
Reigning PBA Most Valuable Player June Mar Fajardo had 17 points, matching the output of CJ Perez who muffed a triple that would’ve sent the match to an extra period.
The Beermen wrap up their elimination round campaign against a NorthPort crew that is coming off a stunning upset of NLEX the game earlier.
