Converge FiberXers face San Miguel Beermen in Game 5 of PBA quarterfinals

Converge FiberXers and San Miguel Beermen are set to face off in a decisive Game 5 of the PBA Governors' Cup quarterfinals after Converge forced a winner-take-all match with their victory on Friday.

Interim coach Franco Atienza emphasized the importance of hope and grit for his team as they prepare to take on San Miguel Beermen, downplaying any talk about momentum.

Atienza noted that while the FiberXers have shown improvement in recent games, facing a perennial championship contender means everything will be reset for Sunday's game.

Converge secured back-to-back wins with standout performances from Schonny Winston and Justin Arana to tie the series at 2-2, setting up the crucial Game 5 on October 6 at Ynares Center in Antipolo.

Schonny Winston expressed excitement about the do-or-die match against San Miguel Beer, acknowledging the need for continued improvement before securing a spot in the semifinals against Barangay Ginebra.
