(UPDATED) Kevin Alas scored 18 of his 31 points in the fourth quarter to lift NLEX past Converge, 116-112, on Saturday night in the PBA Governors' Cup.

It was a career-high tying night for Alas, who drained three triples for the Road Warriors including a cold-blooded trey near the end of the match.

NLEX proved to be the steadier team, outmaneuvering the Converge down the stretch during the hotly-contested match at the Araneta Coliseum.

The Road Warriors needed to will it in the end, especially after losing some of their players to fouls.

This also translated to more free-throw shots for the FiberXers, 47 to be exact, resulting in 38 more points.

"Baka ma-fine ako. 'Wag na lang (akong magcomment)," quipped coach Frankie Lim during the post game presser. "Tawa kayo ng tawa, nagtitimpi na nga ako. Masyado lang siguro kaming aggressive and gustong manalo."

"Obvious naman marami kaming fouls eh. Si (Anthony) Semerad five fouls, 'di natapos ni Brandon (Ganuelas-Rosser) ang game six fouls. Maski si Jake Pascual. Was it our defense?"

But Lim gave props to his wards his players for helping import Wayne Selden. "Walang labasan si Wayne, naawa na nga ako't humihiga na. Sabi ko 'Let's finish the game,'" he said.

Indeed, it was another productive night for Selden who tallied 34 markers, 8 steals, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks to help the Road Warriors offset Jamaal Franklin's 53-point explosion for Converge.

But another factor that led to their victory was Alas.

"Buti na lang meron kaming Kevin Alas. Malaking bagay kasi lalo't kulang 'yung mga players because of injuries," said Lim.

The Road Warriors now have a 5-2 card while dealing the FiberXers' second defeat in 7 games.
