Cheick Diallo powers Converge past NLEX to regain winning form in PBA Comm’s Cup


Converge relied on Cheick Diallo to repel NLEX in the fourth quarter and take the 102-91 decision to return to its winning ways in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup, Wednesday evening at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.

The former NBA big man finished with 37 points and 18 rebounds as he was the stabilizing presence that the FiberXers badly needed when their foes threatened by a field goal after being down by double digits for most of the game.

He scored 12 of his points in the aforementioned period, including his team’s last six points as they went on to go above .500 with a 3-2 record.
