Jalen Jones was blanked in the last 12 minutes while Fajardo and EJ Anosike combined for 13 to finish off Converge.
The meltdown wasn't unexpected. Converge is the PBA's youngest team with an average age of 27.6 years even if Alex Cabagnot, 41, is in the lineup. San Miguel, averaging 32.4, is the third oldest squad after Barangay Ginebra (32.7) and TNT (32.6). The lack of experience showed in the pressure-packed Game 5.
