Mikey Williams struck the dagger as Converge averted disaster and escaped Rain or Shine by way of a 130-125 decision to tie things up in the PBA Season 50 Governors’ Cup quarterfinals at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium, Friday night.
The former PBA Press Corps Finals MVP finished with 10 points, none more important than his pull-up triple under duress for the 127-123 lead with 35.2 seconds to go as an apt response after the opposition knocked within one.
Free throws by Calvin Abueva and Alec Stockton, plus misses from the line by Deo Cuajao and a turnover by Adrian Nocum all inside the final 30.5 of the game enabled FiberXers to escape—and avoid another collapse.
A total of eight players finished in double figures in the win, with Cameron Clark and Juan Gomez de Liano leading the way with 22 and 20, respectively.
