ANTIPOLO - Juami Tiongson delivered his best performance in a San Miguel uniform as the Beermen overcame a late Converge rally to pick up a critical 116-113 win on Friday in the PBA 49th Season Commissioner's Cup at the Ynares Center.
Tiongson scored 22 points for the Beermen, who barely held on in the face of a fiery Converge fightback from a 19-point deficit to stay in the playoff picture at eighth place with a 5-6 win-loss card.
Tiongson also came away with a crucial steal that led to a free throw by CJ Perez with 20 seconds left and a 116-113 lead, which held until the end as Bryan Santos missed a four-point attempt at the buzzer.
