Converge hands SMB first loss

Converge leaned on the endgame heroics of import Jamaal Franklin and locals Maverick Ahanmisi and Justin Arana to hand San Miguel Beer its first loss via a 107-103 triumph in their 2022-23 PBA Governors' Cup match Saturday evening at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.

Clutching a slim 99-98 lead entering the final two minutes, Ahanmisi and Franklin combined for five points while Arana and Jerick Balanza scored the last three foul shots in a crucial 8-5 windup to help the FiberXers complete a gigantic upset against the powerhouse Beermen.
