Jerrick Ahanmisi and Terrafirma raced to a 30-point win against Titan Ultra to start the PBA Season 50 Commissioner's Cup, the Dyip's largest win in franchise history.
From Candon City to Manila, Jerrick Ahanmisi continued to dazzle on the PBA floor.
Fresh from winning the PBA Obstacle Challenge and Three-Point Shootout from the 2026 All-Star Weekend, Ahanmisi steered Terrafirma to a 112-82 win over Titan Ultra in the PBA Season 50 Commissioner’s Cup opener Wednesday at Ninoy Aquino Stadium.
He wound up with 26 points, seven assists, and five steals for the Dyip, whose 30-point win was the largest in franchise history.
“We just really wanna have fun and enjoy playing with each other. Tonight we showed it,” said Ahanmisi after the match.
The Dyip started getting into the flow of things in the middle quarters where they outgunned the Giant Risers, 63-39.
In the third period, Ahanmisi dropped 17 of his total output to help Terrafirma take full control of the game.
Aside from Ahanmisi, also stepping up for Terrafirma was import Ali Mubashar, who submitted 27 points, 11 rebounds, and a block.
Joseph Eriobu added 17 points and seven rebounds for the Dyip, who chalked up their first victory to start a conference since a 95-87 decision against Phoenix in the Season 49 Philippine Cup.
Meanwhile, Michael Gilmore fired 33 points on four triples but it did little to fan the flames for the Giant Risers. He also had 13 rebounds, two assists, and five steals.
Joshua Munzon added 32 points, three rebounds, two assists, and three steals in a losing effort.
