Terrafirma Dyip finish campaign with high-scoring rout
The Terrafirma Dyip finish their run in the PBA Season 50 Governors' Cup on a high note despite missing the playoffs. Terrafirma unleashed an offensive clinic to register a 149-117 victory over Titan Ultra at Ynares Center-Antipolo. The result concluded their group-stage hostilities with authority, showcasing the team's potential when firing on all cylinders.
Terrafirma Dyip and Titan Ultra met in a matchup of eliminated clubs playing for pride. Terrafirma established a wire-to-wire lead and maintained offensive momentum throughout the evening. The victory allowed head coach Ronald Tubid's squad to secure a positive finale to an otherwise difficult conference campaign.
Veterans set the pace in dominant showing
Guard Maverick Ahanmisi delivered a standout triple-double to spearhead the offensive surge. In just 28 minutes of action, Ahanmisi amassed 18 points, 10 rebounds, and 14 assists. His playmaking dictated the tempo from the opening tip, creating open perimeter looks and transition opportunities.
Veteran scorer Juami Tiongson capitalized on those openings by leading all scorers with 30 points. Tiongson sank six three-pointers, punishing the perimeter defense and keeping Titan at bay. Their veteran composure exploited an undermanned Titan side missing Joshua Munzon, who sat out due to a calf strain and swollen Achilles.
Group standings and outlook for next season
The decisive victory moved Terrafirma to a 5-7 win-loss record, securing fifth place in the seven-team Group A standings. While the Dyip fell one spot and three wins short of the Top 4 qualification line required for the quarterfinals, the coaching staff viewed the performance as a constructive foundation for future conferences.
Titan concluded their tournament in last place with a 2-10 mark following five consecutive defeats. In Group B action later that evening, the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters clinched a quarterfinal berth with a 125-123 victory over the Blackwater Bossing, leaving Blackwater at 3-6 at the bottom of their group.
