Arana keeps positive mindset despite Converge down 0-2

BIG man Justin Arana remains positive about the chances of Converge in the PBA Governors' Cup despite now down 0-2 against San Miguel in their best-of-five quarterfinals.

Despite the 107-100 loss in Saturday's Game 2 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, the third year center said everything is not over yet for the FiberXers.

"Think positive lang kami. Siyempre kailangan naming mag-trabaho as a team," said Arana.

"May chance pa rin naman na manalo kami at ma-extend namin yung series."

Arana, the former Rookie of the Year, finished with 12 points, seven rebounds, and two assists in the team's second straight loss that pushed the FiberXers on the ropes in their first playoffs stint in two years.

But the center out of Arellano failed to finish the game after suffering a hyper-extended knee.

He's set to undergo MRI test on Sunday to see if he'll be healthy enough to play in Game 3.

"Hopefully, makapag-laro pa ako sa Game 3 kasi sobrang importante sa amin yun," he said. "Kasi down kami 0-2. So sana," added Arana. (RG)
