MANILA, Philippines -- (UPDATED) Converge continues its winning run in the 2022 PBA Commissioners' Cup, prevailing in a high-scoring affair against Phoenix Super LPG, 132-127, on Wednesday afternoon at the Araneta Coliseum.

Import Quincy Miller exploded for 46 points on top of 18 rebounds, five assists, three blocks and two steals, while RK Ilagan came off the bench to score a career-high 22 points. The FiberXers set a new franchise record by drilling 22 three-pointers -- one short of the PBA record.

The FiberXers have now won six straight games in the Commissioner's Cup to hike their record to 7-2, while also snapping the Fuel Masters' five-game winning run.

"To be honest, we're winning but in a way, our game is deteriorating," Converge coach Aldin Ayo observed after the game. "Itong laro na 'to, umalis kami sa sistema namin, kasi very unconventional ang approach ni Coach Topex [Robinson]. So medyo bumaba [ang laro]."

"Good thing, 'yung conditioning, andoon," he added.

It was a fast-paced contest that saw both teams breach the century mark at the end of the third period, with the FiberXers surging to a 107-102 lead.

Phoenix Super LPG made it a one-possession game, 119-116, off a bucket by import Kaleb Wesson with five minutes to go but Converge pounced on their turnovers to score eight unanswered points and stretch the lead to double digits, 127-116, with just under four minutes to play.

But Ayo was dissatisfied with how they ended the game, as the Fuel Masters got the lead down to four points, 131-127, with 52 seconds left thanks to a run anchored by Encho Serrano. Converge managed to hold when Serrano bricked a triple with 33.5 seconds left, and a split at the line by Alec Stockton in their ensuing possession was enough to ice the game.

Jeron Teng added 25 points, nine rebounds and four assists, while Maverick Ahanmisi had 13 points for the FiberXers, who shot 47.4% from the field and had a 65-52 rebounding advantage.

Wesson finished with 25 points for Phoenix Super LPG but was outplayed by Miller for most of the night. Miller nailed eight of 13 triples in the contest.

Serrano, Javee Mocon, and Sean Anthony each had 17 points in a losing effort for the Fuel Masters. As a team, Phoenix Super LPG made 14 three-pointers and scored 19 points off Converge's turnovers, but their offense ran out of steam in the fourth quarter.

Phoenix dropped to 5-4 in the conference.
