Converge vs Rain or Shine, Barangay Ginebra vs NorthPort games set

Two PBA Philippine Cup games are set for Wednesday at the PhilSports Arena, featuring Converge against Rain or Shine at 5 p.m. and Barangay Ginebra versus NorthPort at 7:30 p.m.

Converge seeks to extend its winning streak and avenge its loss to Rain or Shine from the previous Commissioner's Cup quarterfinals.

Rain or Shine, despite injuries to key players like Beau Belga, Keith Datu, and Caelan Tiongson, relies on speed and strategic playmaking from its backcourt.

Converge's Justin Baltazar and Justin Arana form a potent duo that could exploit Rain or Shine's frontline weaknesses.

In the second game, Barangay Ginebra aims to bounce back from their loss to San Miguel Beer, while NorthPort looks to end a two-game skid following an opening win over Terrafirma.

Ginebra made roster changes by placing veteran guard LA Tenorio on the unrestricted free agent list to focus on his coaching duties with Gilas Pilipinas Youth.
