San Miguel Beermen suffered a narrow 93-89 defeat to TNT Tropang Giga in a tightly contested PBA clash, falling short despite another competitive performance against one of the league’s top teams.
George King led San Miguel with 35 points and 16 rebounds, while June Mar Fajardo added 14 points, 12 rebounds. Marcio Lassiter contributed 13 points and Celedonio Trollano chipped in 12 points, but their efforts weren't enough.
Offensively, they converted 34.5% from the field, including 22.2% from the perimeter and 71.4% from the free throw line. Defensively, they controlled the boards 63-55, but still managed to give away multiple second chance points and committed key defensive lapses. They also committed 15 turnovers, which proved costly down the stretch.
Cleaning up late-game defense, securing rebounds, and minimizing turnovers will be key as they look to bounce back in their next outing.
Overall, the team averages 128 points per game, while dishing out 24.3 assists. Defensively, they record 53.3 rebounds, 10.6 steals and 5.8 blocks per game.
Converge FiberXers fell 119-107 to the NLEX Road Warriors despite producing a respectable offensive performance. The FiberXers kept pace for stretches of the game with aggressive drives and solid perimeter shooting, but they struggled to contain NLEX’s efficient attack.
All five starters added double figure scoring with Jamaal Franklin leading the charge with 26 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, while Michael Kurtiz Williams chipped in 18 points.
Offensively, Converge shot 41.9% from the field, including 88% from the free throw line, but struggled from the perimeter, converting just 12% from deep. Defensively, they got outrebounded 53-42 on the boards, giving away crucial second chance opportunities. Their perimeter defense also allowed the opponent to convert 45.8% from deep.
Despite the loss, Converge demonstrated offensive potential by reaching 107 points, proving it can compete with high level opponents when its attack is flowing. Going forward, improving perimeter shooting, protecting the defensive glass and reducing turnovers will be critical. A more disciplined defensive effort alongside their productive offense will give the FiberXers a better chance of turning competitive performances into victories.
Overall, the team averages 127.8 points per game, while dishing out 30 assists. Defensively, they record 54.9 rebounds, 8.1 steals and 2.6 blocks per game.
