Converge FiberXers outlast NLEX Road Warriors in overtime PBA clash

Converge FiberXers secured a crucial 107-95 overtime victory against the NLEX Road Warriors in the PBA Season 50 Philippine Cup.

Justine Baltazar led Converge with a dominant 25-point, 24-rebound double-double, significantly aiding their quest for a twice-to-beat advantage in the quarterfinals.

Rookie Juan Gomez de Liano contributed significantly with his second consecutive triple-double, tallying 20 points, 13 rebounds, and 10 assists.

The FiberXers outscored NLEX 17-5 in overtime, overcoming a buzzer-beating four-point play by Jonnel Policarpio that sent the game into the extra period.

Despite the loss, NLEX remains in eighth place with a 6-5 record, but has not yet clinched a playoff spot.

NLEX was hampered by the absence of star guard Robert Bolick due to his Gilas Pilipinas commitments in the Southeast Asian Games.
