Already out of the race to the quarterfinals, Terrafirma aims to finally get out of the funk to end its PBA Season 50 Philippine Cup campaign swinging.
With their playoff hopes officially dashed, Terrafirma aims to salvage pride and end a seven-game slide as it clashes with Ginebra in the PBA Season 50 Philippine Cup Friday, Dec. 12.

Terrafirma dropped to 1–8 following a lopsided 87–120 loss to Meralco, but the Dyip found a bright spot in Mark Nonoy, who erupted for a conference-high 22 points.
Paolo Hernandez also provided perimeter firepower with 18 points on three triples, while Louie Sangalang added 13 markers.
Despite being eliminated from quarterfinal contention, the Dyip continue to play for growth, with young pieces like Nonoy showing flashes of promise.

Terrafirma will need a more collective effort, however, as it faces a Ginebra team riding a two-game winning streak and determined to keep its playoff push alive.
Against a motivated opponent, the Dyip are tasked with matching intensity early — something they will need if they hope to finally halt their downward spiral.
