Alec Stockton’s layup with 11.3 seconds remaining settled a 114-112 overtime victory for Converge against TNT Tropang 5G on October 18, 2026. The PBA Governors’ Cup contest at Antipolo’s Ynares Center saw the FiberXers erase a deficit of 15 points.
Stockton also drove the comeback that extended the game.

Stockton either scored or provided the assist on every point during a 12-2 response, ending with his last-second layup for 106-106.
Jordan Heading brought TNT level at 112-112 during overtime before Stockton struck again. Officials checked whether Justine Baltazar had touched the rim during the decisive shot, then upheld the basket. On TNT’s final possession, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson missed under Cameron Clark’s defence as the clock expired.
Clark contributed 27 points, along with six assists and seven rebounds. Juan Gomez-de Liano scored 22 off the bench and supplied eight assists. Stockton’s total was 19 points, 13 coming after half-time, including overtime. Baltazar also scored 19 and collected 12 rebounds.
Hollis-Jefferson led TNT with 33 points, adding four assists and 11 rebounds in his second appearance following an Achilles injury. Heading scored 21. Both clubs had already qualified for the playoffs; their final elimination-round positions put Converge third and TNT fourth in Group A ahead of the crossover quarterfinals.
