Converge FiberXers Team News
It is extremely rare to witness a gigantic rise by a basketball club at the highest possible level. This is precisely what happened to Converge when they installed Aldin Ayo as the team´s chieftain and allowed him to tailor the roster however he wants.
During the Commissioner´s Cup he was still incorporating the new run and gun philosophy he translated from his collegiate days, but once the season-ending Governors´ Cup began the FiberXers were ready and poised to fight for silverware.
Converge is so well-coached that even an early import switch(Rusbatch replaced with Franklin) didn´t have any effect on the team´s chemistry. Their form culminated with a memorable win over the San Miguel Beermen a week ago, but now they have to show consistency by winning the games they are supposed to win.
NLEX Road Warriors News
The NLEX Road Warriors are experiencing a serious drought after their original import player and scoring machine Jonathon Simmons left for greener pastures. Wayne Selden literally came off the plane and had a remarkable debut as he lit up the Ginebra Kings with 43 points, but in the end the class of Barangay Ginebra prevailed.
One would think that NLEX would take the Hotshots to the edge with nearly six whole days to prepare following the stellar debut of their newcomer, but the opposite thing happened. The Road Warriors had no answers for the versatile Antonio Hester, whose 37 points and 15 rebounds dealt a serious blow to NLEX´s top 4 aspirations.

Converge FiberXers vs NLEX Road Warriors Prediction
It seemed that the Road Warriors adjusted instantly with their new import Wayne Selden when they almost took down the Ginebra Kings in his debut. After that game they had almost a whole week to hone their strategy, but unexpectedly suffered a drubbing at the hands of the Hotshots.
Converge are currently above both Ginebra and Magnolia, so the spread should have a tendency towards -10 points prior to tip-off.
