Vonadovich led the assault for the FiberXers with 27 points and 13 rebounds while Tallo made a case for a PBA comeback after dropping 24 points built on five triples.
Converge’s prized rookie addition in Winston also showed a glimpse of what he can bring to the table for his team and finished with 23 points.
He was also at the forefront of a huge third quarter flurry, dropping 14 of his team’s 39 points that allowed them take control of the contest 92-75 heading into the final frame.
Converge kept its foot on the gas pedal from there with Tallo also delivering timely hits to establish its biggest lead at 15, 111-95, midway through the final frame.
