PBA Images</div>MANILA (UPDATED) – A &quot;composed&quot; San Miguel passed another late test from Converge, 107-100, to install a pivotal 2-0 lead in the 2024 PBA Governors&#x27; Cup quarterfinals on Saturday at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.&quot;Well, we did better now. We were really composed especially [in] the last six minutes of the ballgame when I think we are only up by one. The players really found a way to win now,&quot; said coach Jorge Gallent in the postgame press conference.After orchestrating a 12-point, 95-83 separation in the last frame, the biggest lead by then, the FiberXers managed to tear it down to a 97-96 count off conversions from Jalen Jones and Bryan Santos.However, PBA&#x27;s 3-point king Marcio Lassiter ended the dry spell for the Beermen side by using his best asset, 100-97.Local stars June Mar Fajardo and CJ Perez — both in the top five of the Best Player of the Conference race — and import EJ Anosike followed it through with points of their own to hold off the gritty FiberXers.<div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/2024/9/27/magnolia-equalizes-series-with-ros-in-dominant-fashion-1912">READ: PBA: Magnolia equalizes series with Rain or Shine in dominant fashion</a></div>&quot;They played their hearts out in the last six minutes of the ballgame,&quot; Gallent added.Anosike was shy of a double-double of 41 points and nine rebounds to go along with five assists, while Fajardo added 15 markers.Anosike&#x27;s counterpart Jones delivered a 36-point, 12-rebound performance, although for the losing cause.&quot;Converge is a strong team. They have a good import. You know, it&#x27;s just we were playing better in the last six minutes ng ballgame which is good. That&#x27;s why we&#x27;re winning &#x27;yung games,&quot; Gallent asserted.<div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/2024/9/27/pba-nlex-ties-series-after-thrilling-escape-vs-tnt-2202" id="isPasted">READ: PBA: NLEX ties series after thrilling escape vs TNT </a></div>The Beermen have a chance to clinch a semifinal berth in Game 3 on Monday at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.<div> </div><div>The Scores:</div>SAN MIGUEL 107 – Anosike 41, Fajardo 15, Rosales 11, Perez 10, Lassiter 9, Romeo 8, Trollano 7, Cruz 6, Enciso 0, Brondial 0, Teng 0, Ross 0, Manuel 0CONVERGE 100 – Jones 36, Stockton 14, Arana 12, Santos 12, Winston 8, Andrade 8, Ambohot 4, Delos Santos 4, Cabagnot 2, Melecio 0, CaralipioQUARTERS: 23-25, 48-51, 78-72, 107-100
