Nothing has been clicking for Terrafirma, which has lost its last seven games in the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup--including the beating at the hands of San Miguel.
With their playoff hopes all but dashed, the Terrafirma Dyip shift their focus to salvaging pride and finishing strong as they face the Converge FiberXers in the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup on Wednesday, May 28.

At 1-7, Terrafirma has dropped seven straight games, including a lopsided 89-128 loss to powerhouse San Miguel on May 18.
Still, there were flashes of fight in that defeat, particularly from Mark Nonoy, who erupted for 24 points and three rebounds, and veteran Stanley Pringle, who added 17 points, two rebounds, and three assists.
Despite their dismal record, the Dyip are out to prove they can still shake up the standings and play spoiler to teams with playoff ambitions.
Converge, now at 5-4, is one of those teams, coming off a narrow 83-88 loss to surging NLEX and determined to stay in the hunt for a Top 4 finish.
Expect Terrafirma to come out swinging, leaning on its young guns and veterans alike in search of an elusive second win — and a measure of redemption to end what has been a frustrating campaign.
