Converge struggled last season, but the FiberXers made sure to have a different start this time around after routing a new-look Terrafirma, 127-95, in the PBA Season 49 Governors' Cup on Wednesday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Converge used a huge third quarter to pull away for good and improve to 1-0 in Group A while also spoiling the debut of former Ginebra teammates Christian Standhardinger and Stanley Pringle as the Dyip fell to a 0-1 slate.
But that was the closest the Dyip could get with Converge holding on to its lead for good. The 35-year-old Hopson put the finishing kick, completing a two-handed slam off a Justin Arana dime before burying a triple then a four-pointer to send them to a 123-92 lead with still four minutes to go. Hopson top-scored in his PBA debut, pouring in a game-high of 46 points laced with eight rebounds, three assists, two blocks, and one steal while Stockton finished with 21 markers.
