When will Terrafirma’s misery end? The Dyip will try again in the PBA Philippine Cup when they take on the rejuvenated TNT Tropang 5G.
Mired in a four-game losing streak, the Terrafirma Dyip look to stop the bleeding and reignite their Philippine Cup campaign when they face the rejuvenated TNT Tropang 5G on Friday, May 9.
Gametime is set at 5pm at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig. Fans can watch its livestream on One Sports’ youtube channel.
Terrafirma (1-4) is coming off a humbling 127-94 loss to undefeated Magnolia, the latest blow in a tough stretch that’s seen the Dyip struggle on both ends of the court.
With defense a major concern and offensive rhythm elusive, the Dyip will need a total team effort to avoid falling deeper in the standings.
The matchup doesn’t get any easier as they face a TNT squad that just picked up a confidence-boosting 89-84 win over powerhouse San Miguel last May 4, snapping its own three-game slump.
Terrafirma must find a way to contain Calvin Oftana, who starred in that victory with 23 points and 21 rebounds.
To halt their skid, Terrafirma needs stronger play from its key contributors and steadier execution, especially in crunch time—something they’ve struggled with during their current slide. A win against a team like TNT could be the turning point they desperately need.
