Eight-time MVP June Mar Fajardo played every bit of the multi-awarded champion he is, leading the way with a massive line of 25 points on 11-of-20 shooting, 16 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks, and 2 steals. As San Miguel held that double-digit separation until the game’s waning moments, peaking with a 97-81 gap with 3:51 to play, Converge suddenly brought out the big guns with a surprising 14-2 surge in less than two minutes, capped by a JL delos Santos triple, 95-99, with 57.7 seconds left.
“We just wanted to close the game really quickly, but we really should’ve just held the ball a bit longer,” said San Miguel head coach Jorge Gallent.
