Terrafirma needed a fourth quarter surge to hurdle past an all-Filipino Titan Ultra crew, 113-100, and get off to winning start in the PBA Season 50 Governors’ Cup on Friday at the Ynares Center in Antipolo City.
Import Justin Strings delivered an all-around effort of 25 points, 16 rebounds and six assists, teaming up beautifully with top rookie pick Geo Chiu, who finished with 19 points and 23 boards.
JM Bravo added 15 while three other Dyip players scored 11 or more in a balanced scoring attack.
Aris Dionisio led the Giant Risers with 21 points and nine rebounds even as Joshua Munzon scored 15.
Titan Ultra played without import Justin Millton who failed to get his FIBA clearance in time for the game.
