01:07Brought to you by Honda,

01:09the official motorcycle of the

01:11NBA. First possession,

01:13Malcolm Oaks handling the basketball,

01:15Aaron Black.

01:19Nice floater,

01:21and gets the friendly roll.

01:23That's a go-to play of Mirag

01:25with a pin down and curl

01:27off the pin down, and usually

01:29they score their first basket off the plate.

01:31While hosting up

01:33Northern Flores, gets trapped,

01:35kicks it out.

01:37Corner three, Stockton

01:39just hits the side of the backboard

01:41one more time. This one goes

01:43in for J.L. De Los Santos.

01:47Just like your coach threw it up.

01:49Hit the side of the backboard for an offensive

01:51rebound.

01:53Right now, Bakero, aggressive.

01:55Go to Hodge.

01:59Back to Black.

02:01Way downtown for

02:03Bakero. That is a smooth-looking

02:05jumper. Yeah, CB's been playing

02:07lead away in the past few games, and

02:09that is very evident on that three-pointer.

02:13Stockton, now being guarded

02:15by Bakero.

02:17Stockton, lots of

02:19ball handling here. Oh, he finds a lane.

02:21That is good for Alex Stockton.

02:23Rebound ends up

02:25with Justin, pushing the base to De Los Santos.

02:27Quick trigger.

02:29Yes, sir! Three-pointers. Good

02:31for De Los Santos.

02:33One two-pointer.

02:35To Bakero.

02:37Bakero sails in. Misses the easy

02:39layup. Sorry, miss there by

02:41Bakero of the transition.

02:43Garalipio, wide open three.

02:45Oh, converge is hot

02:47from the outside.

02:49Bakero hangs in the air.

02:51Misses another layup.

02:53Viralco, trying to recover.

02:55Go to AB.

02:57AB is on fire from the outside.

02:59That's another one for

03:01Air Black.

03:03Black to the corner.

03:05Yes, sir! Ties the game

03:07at 11.

03:13Hodge shoots a fader. Yes, that is good

03:15for Klapau.

03:17Yes, sir! The turnaround jumpers.

03:19Give them a lot of time to play

03:21and get experience. Hopefully

03:23down the line it will pay off.

03:25Shawnee, nice looking shot.

03:27Speaking of young stars,

03:29Shawnee Winstead.

03:31Valesho spins into traffic.

03:33Drops it off to Magdenburg. Fleming,

03:35wide open, asking for it.

03:37Misses the three. Look at that. Smallest guy on the

03:39floor gets the rebound.

03:41Goes the other way. Valesho

03:43with the reverse.

03:45Converge is able to regain

03:47that ball back.

03:49Missed shot. Converge.

03:51Here comes Pinto.

03:55Making it hard

03:57for Valesho to bring that ball down.

03:59Shot clock is down to 12

04:01because of that ball pressure.

04:03See if they score off this.

04:05Magdenburg barreling his way inside against Bates.

04:07Able

04:09to score off that going to his right.

04:11Able to extend off the

04:13hands of

04:15Brandon Bates.

04:17Driving inside against Magdenburg.

04:19Bates inside.

04:21Gets the basket. Plus the

04:23foul.

04:25He misses his shot.

04:27Hands it off

04:29to the tallest guy.

04:31Similar to what happened with San Miguel.

04:33They were really

04:35close with San Miguel

04:37when they were making their three expensive

04:39rebounds by Converge.

04:41It's getting a lot now.

04:43He steps back. Shoots over Bates.

04:45That is short. Let's call that a pass.

04:47That's one

04:49good challenge by Brandon.

04:51Forcing that

04:53air ball shot but fortunately

04:55Converge was able to put it back.

04:57Converge now

04:59has a one point lead. 23 to 22.

05:03Carab lines it up. Shoots a three.

05:05That is smooth by Carab.

05:07They went

05:09under on his ball screen.

05:11Stockton pushing it against

05:13Quinto. Finds a lane. Hangs in the air.

05:15What a finish by Stockton.

05:17Stockton was able to find that lane

05:19wide open on the right side

05:21and he took advantage. Drove to the basket

05:23and scored.

05:25That's the confidence of a guy who just scored 36

05:27points last game. And he gets

05:29the steal here. Shawnee

05:31running now. Trying to go all

05:33the way. Arana

05:35barreling inside. Recovers.

05:37Lefty finish by Justin Arana.

05:39And it's clear he's looking forward

05:41to leading his team to their first victory today.

05:43Back to you, gentlemen.

05:45Thank you, Cap.

05:47As we see Banquero sneaking his way

05:49inside for a layup.

05:51Good drive there by Banquero to stop the run of

05:53Converge. They're only down

05:55by five off the timeout.

05:57It's a coaching three. The coaching line of

05:59Danny DiPonzo.

06:01Parang 100 percent accuracy

06:03by Shawnee. Dunbar, then Justin Arana.

06:05So far so good

06:07for Danny DiPonzo

06:09and his students. As we see Stockton getting

06:11another jumper to go. Definitely they're

06:13blessed to have Danny Ai there to be their

06:15mentor.

06:17The best ever to do it. Meanwhile, Hodge inside.

06:19Crossbar pass. Norbert

06:21has deep post position.

06:23Hodge getting another one.

06:25Blanketed by Arana. Has to

06:27kick it out to Black.

06:29Black to traffic. Signature

06:31floater. That's what he'll score here.

06:33Banquero.

06:35Gets it to

06:37Newsom.

06:39Good defense by Stockton.

06:41Newsom finishes over

06:43Stockton. Stockton asking

06:45for a foul.

06:47But Newsom was able to score

06:49off that pull-up jumper.

06:51Alko stepping down after that

06:53timeout. They want to go back to Arana.

06:55They cleared

06:57it out for Justin.

06:59Converge likes this

07:01matchup. Arana versus Torres.

07:03There you go.

07:05Justin Arana.

07:07That's the third time Arana

07:09attacked Torres in the post and he was very

07:11successful.

07:13He spins to his left but still finishes

07:15with his right hand.

07:17Arana

07:19dominating that matchup. Torres

07:21inside.

07:23Great hands by Santos with Hodge. Too deep.

07:25He gets a reverse finish. Good catch

07:27there by Hodge. That high-low play

07:29that zone defense.

07:31He's able to score.

07:33Stockton loads up.

07:35Shoots a jumper. Basket is good plus the foul.

07:39One more time. What a tough shot.

07:41His best move of the game is brought to you by Honda.

07:43The official motorcycle of the PBA.

07:45Pointers. And he was getting

07:47pointers from Willie Miller.

07:49You got a guard. You got a big.

07:51So far so good for these two guys in this game.

07:53Black shoots a three. That's another one

07:55for Aaron Black.

07:57Bancaro

07:59hiding Newsome.

08:01Newsome drops from Lelos.

08:03And drays the three.

08:07Newsome. It's not a highlight

08:09if you don't make it.

08:11Newsome swishes the three

08:13through.

08:15Losing control. Gets it back.

08:17Newsome. Nine seconds on the shot clock.

08:19Has to create something.

08:21Newsome spins.

08:23Shawnee is there. Wide open.

08:25Bancaro.

08:27Gets the friendly roll.

08:29Guadalajara with a big run here.

08:31They're down by seven.

08:33They're up by three now.

08:35Again, post-op attacking the Lesho in the post.

08:37Quinto trying to lean in and draw the foul.

08:39No. He gets his own rebound.

08:41Bancaro.

08:43Back-to-back hits.

08:45Back-to-back threes by Bancaro.

08:47Giving them a six-point lead.

08:49Santos. Five seconds on the shot clock.

08:51He's gonna go. Stops. Kicks it out.

08:53CB has been

08:55on target.

08:57That's four out of four for Bancaro.

08:59Newsome, one-on-one against Stockton.

09:01Oh, very shifty move.

09:03Turns the other corner.

09:05Erased by Stockton.

09:07Newsome has to throw it up.

09:09Patient. No.

09:11Araripio.

09:13Back out. Santos shoots a three.

09:15Finally makes one.

09:17Santos known for his

09:19three-pointers.

09:21He was able to make it this time.

09:23His first three-pointer.

09:25He did shoot a lot in the

09:27first half for Black.

09:29Mbawi kagad for Miralco.

09:31That's another three for the Bolts.

09:33Black found himself

09:35open on that screen by Torres

09:37and was able to make the three-pointer.

09:41Back down to Arana against Norwood.

09:43He had success against Torres earlier.

09:45They kick it back out. Santos one more time.

09:47Back-to-back plus the foul

09:49for Brad Santos.

09:53Just down by seven.

09:55Using the screen from Arana.

09:57They go to Santos one more time.

09:59Third three-pointer is

10:01good for Brad Santos.

10:03Miralco couldn't buy a basket in the

10:05last few minutes of this third quarter.

10:07Kick it out. JL

10:09drives, drops it off.

10:11Great pass from De Los Santos to Arana.

10:13Take a look at this highlight.

10:15De Los Santos blowing past Rios.

10:17Great drop-off.

10:19For today, he wants to prove one thing

10:21and one thing alone, that they belong

10:23in this conference. He told me he's going to

10:25do everything in his power to make that known, so

10:27let's see how that translates in this match today.

10:29Back to you, gentlemen. Thank you, Gavin.

10:31So far, Stockton trying

10:33his best to lead this comeback, but Chris

10:35Newsome has other thoughts.

10:37Back-to-back baskets for Newsome.

10:39They go to Arana against

10:41Bates. This is the matchup.

10:43They go double-teaming.

10:45Deposition.

10:47Footwork. Kicks it out. Stockton.

10:49Five seconds on the shot clock. Stockton

10:51shoots a three. Hits a three!

10:53Big shot for Alex Stockton.

10:55Not sure why they needed

10:57to double-team Arana on that play.

10:59That created shots for the other

11:01players.

11:03Newsome being extra aggressive now here in the third.

11:05Ludo Hodge shooting that

11:07fader. That is good by Cliff Hodge.

11:09Again, he has

11:11perfected the turnaround jumper.

11:13Ludo Banquero.

11:15Banquero.

11:17Stuck there. Newsome has to pull up.

11:19Oh! Better

11:21shot by Newsome. Right in the

11:23nick of time, Chris Newsome.

11:25Arana.

11:27They hand it off

11:29to Santos. Santos firing away.

11:31Santos with his fourth three of the game.

11:33Santos really hot

11:35here in the third quarter, scoring his third

11:37three-pointer. Santos still going at it.

11:39Same play.

11:43This time, Arana turns and

11:45slams that home!

11:47Stockton.

11:49Oh, in traffic.

11:51Newsome takes it away.

11:53Banquero

11:55all the way. Gets it to go.

11:57Down by

11:59one. Shawnee hangs in there. That is short.

12:01Battle for the loose ball.

12:03Oh! Nice layup.

12:05Gets the basket plus the foul.

12:07Here

12:09of that miss. Caralipio was able to

12:11get it around the free-throw line

12:13and found a wide

12:15open lane for

12:17a drive and a foul.

12:19Arana

12:21trying to break away. Gets it to

12:23Pasaol in the corner. Three.

12:25Pasaol! Ties this at 77.

12:27Big three.

12:29Trying to get the basketball. They go to Karam instead.

12:31Karam lines up the three.

12:33That is good. Anjo Karam with another

12:35three.

12:37Pasaol trying to find Shawnee

12:39Winston. They go to Magdenburg.

12:41Shawnee

12:43pulls up over Quinto.

12:45What a shot by Shawnee Winston!

12:47Pasaol

12:49wide open in the corner.

12:51Quinto wants to attack Shawnee.

12:53Quinto. Nice move by

12:55Quinto.

12:57Arana

12:59losing streak. Taking it back to the

13:01Commissioner's Club. Their last one was in December.

13:03Arana drives

13:05inside. Getting the basket plus the foul!

13:07That play.

13:09A short roll by Arana. So effective.

13:11That's against two defenders.

13:13If they lose here, they have to win out the rest

13:15of their games to have even

13:17a chance to

13:19score a playoff spot.

13:21Newsome hangs in the air. He

13:23knows what time it is.

13:25Trying to score. What a drive

13:27there. Using his body.

13:29He's able to. Again.

13:31They're going to go to Arana in the post.

13:33Challenging Brandon's defense.

13:35Wow! Nice pass

13:37by Arana.

13:39That's also

13:41something to watch.

13:43Playoffs already happening earlier today.

13:45Black, wide open three. Yes sir!

13:47Big shot for AB.

13:49Attacking the basket at the top of the key.

13:53Shawnee. Drives inside.

13:55Adjust. What a finish by Shawnee Winston!

13:57Wow. Big play there

13:59by Winston. A bit of a mismatch

14:01there on Arana, but they opted for

14:03a ball screen. Let's see what happens here.

14:05Santos for three!

14:07Big shot! 6-3 pointer

14:09for Brian Santos!

14:11That's a big three-pointer

14:13by Santos.

14:15Off that ball screen.

14:17Wow.

14:19Brian Santos at 19.

14:23Newsome

14:25against Arana. Arana right there.

14:27They kick it out. Aaron Black

14:29attacking. He has the lane.

14:31Aaron Black with a finish!

14:37Monquero.

14:39Down to Hodge.

14:41Hodge against Santos.

14:43Oh, what a move! Hodge finishes

14:45and takes the lead.

14:47Santos. Oh! Body's on the floor.

14:49Caralipio spins.

14:51Picks it out. Santos for three!

14:53Oh my goodness!

14:557-3 pointers!

14:57Brian Santos, the main

14:59guy. Has to shoot it.

15:01That was way short. Battle for the rebound.

15:03Ends up with Hodge. Newsome

15:05attacking Winston. Pulls up.

15:07Good defense, but better offense from

15:09Newsome. Converts as a chance

15:11to ice this game with this

15:13offensive possession.

15:15Yes! What a shot!

15:17Then a Santos!

15:19What a fade!

15:21Beautiful move here.

15:23Take a look at the

15:25spin and the fade.

15:27And that's a deck!

15:29Monquero hands it off. Maliksi for

15:31three. That looks off. Is off!

15:33Shawnee with the rebound!

15:35And the Converge Fiberexers

15:37take down the Maracobolds

15:39to get their first

15:41victory of the Philippine Cup.

15:43What a game here by Converge.
