00:00Now, in PBA, the top two teams, Northport, Batang Per, and Converge Fibre Xers,

00:07took action in the Season 49 PBA Commercial News Cup Doubleheader

00:10held at the Inoyaktino Stadium in Malate, Manila last night.

00:14Did the powerhouse teams continue their momentum this conference

00:18or did their opponents, the contenders, score an upset?

00:21We'll find out in the story of teammate Rafael Banderel.

00:26The Converge Fibre Xers, who are facing the fearsome Rain or Shine Elasto Painters,

00:31were able to take out their opponents.

00:35In this conference, Coach Yeng Gyao has already defeated several top teams,

00:41including San Miguel Beermen and Hong Kong Eastern.

00:45Contrary to Converge, Ross repeated their upset against a title contender.

00:52In the first half, they were able to secure a 17-point lead.

00:56Converge star guard Alex Stockton's performance was a big deal.

01:03But the 6-foot-2 guard did not remain silent.

01:06In the last part of the game, Stockton scored 17 points

01:11and finished with 21 markers to lead the Fibre Xers to a 103-96 win.

01:19For me personally, I played really bad.

01:22I played awful the last game.

01:24Especially down the stretch, I wasn't able to give my team a chance.

01:28So I wanted to make sure I bounce back this game.

01:31And starting off really bad as well.

01:35So I just wanted to make sure I'm able to bounce back and give my team a chance to win.

01:39That's pretty much it.

01:41Because of this, Converge was able to take the 2nd place in the standings of Season 49 Commissioner's Cup.

01:48With a record of 7 wins and 3 losses.

01:51On the other hand, according to head coach Franco Atienza,

01:55Converge will not make a mistake and lose focus.

01:59It's our goal to make it to the playoffs.

02:02And hopefully, if we're able to, we'll be able to take the top 2.

02:06But at the end of the day, a lot more can happen.

02:09So before this game, we'll just have to concentrate.

02:12After today, we have our last two games, Blackwater and San Miguel.

02:17Blackwater first.

02:18We'll see because it's still hard to predict.

02:21Because other teams have a lot of games.

02:23So we'll just control what we can control.

02:26Meanwhile, in the first game of the doubleheader,

02:29Meralco Bolts cut the momentum of the league-leading Northport Batangpierre.

02:34The veteran shooting guard, Chris Bankero, was in the lead.

02:38He lost 25 points, 4 rebounds, and 1 steal.

02:42Import Akel Mitchell's performance was also dominant.

02:46He scored 30 markers, 13 boards, 5 steals, and 3 assists.

02:51Because of this, Meralco is now in the 5th place of the standings,

02:56holding 6 wins and 3 losses.

03:00Rafael Bandayrel for Atletang Pilipino, for a new Philippines.
