Converge sent Rain or Shine skidding to back-to-back losses for the first time in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup by coming away with the 103-96 decision to get back on track, Tuesday night at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.
The FiberXers leaned on Alec Stockton to pull away for good in the fourth as they pummeled an Elasto Painters side that had to play without Coach Yeng Guiao for the remainder of the game after being thrown out late in the quarter prior.
Stockton himself starred with 21 points, finding redemption after being the focal point on defense that made it hard for the crew against TNT the last time out, ultimately absorbing a narrow 98-96 decision to the perennial contenders.
With the bounce-back, Converge improved to 7-3 and dislodged the Elasto Painters at no. 2 in the standings, sitting behind the 7-1 NorthPort.
