Terrafirma Dyip beats TNT 84-72 in PBA Governors' Cup

The Terrafirma Dyip secured its first victory in the PBA Governors' Cup by defeating TNT Tropang Giga with a score of 84-72 on Thursday at Ninoy Aquino Stadium.

Stanley Pringle played a crucial role, scoring 18 points and leading Terrafirma to overcome an early nine-point deficit, particularly contributing 13 points in the fourth quarter.

Terrafirma's Antonio Hester led all scorers with 22 points and 10 rebounds but was injured in the final minutes, while Louie Sangalang contributed 10 points.

TNT's Rondae Hollis-Jefferson had a near triple-double with 25 points, 11 rebounds, and nine steals, but it wasn't enough to stop Terrafirma from winning despite key players like Calvin Oftana struggling (scoring only five points on 2-of-14 shooting).

Terrafirma's victory was particularly significant as they played without their main gunners Christian Standhardinger and Juami Tiongson due to injuries, highlighting the team's resilience.

Stanley Pringle emphasized that despite initial frustrations from losing streaks, Terrafirma adopted a 'nothing-to-lose' mentality which helped them secure this crucial win.
