Terrafirma continued its magical run despite the struggles of Juami Tiongson after needing a fourth-quarter surge to beat winless Blackwater 96-84 yesterday in the PBA Philippine Cup at the Don Honorio Ventura State University in Bacolor, Pampanga.
With Tiongson a marked man the moment he entered the floor, the Dyip had to lean heavily on a number of players, primarily Aldrich Ramos, Reden Celda and Andreas Cahilig, to overcome a determined Bossing side and win their third in a row after a 0-4 start. Ramos top-scored with 17 points, Celda scored 15 points spiked by three triples while the scrappy Cahilig put up 12 points and 11 rebounds that enabled the Johnedel Cardel-coached side to move up in solo seventh.
Tiongson was held to 10 points on 3-of-11 shooting, a stark contrast to his big performances in upset victories over San Miguel Beer and defending champion Barangay Ginebra to begin its Bacolor campaign.
