Terrafirma's rookie Mark Nonoy shines with a career-high 33 points, leading his team to a shocking 117-108 victory over TNT in the Commissioner's Cup. This win marked Terrafirma's first in the tournament, ending their 11-game losing streak. TNT's Rondae Hollis-Jefferson delivered a stellar performance with 41 points, but it wasn't enough to overcome Terrafirma's momentum.
Rookie Mark Nonoy delivered his career-best performance, pouring in a season-high 33 points, as Terrafirma stunned TNT in a 117-108 victory in the Commissioner's Cup at the Ynares Center on Wednesday, January 22. This impressive win marked the team's first victory after a losing streak of 11 consecutive games, allowing them to conclude their campaign on a high note. Nonoy's inspiration stemmed from facing Jayson Castro , a player he has admired since childhood.
He showcased brilliance throughout the game, sinking clutch shots that kept Terrafirma ahead. His four-pointer at the end of the third quarter extended their lead to a commanding 99-70, and another four-point shot at the start of the fourth quarter propelled them to a maximum advantage of 103-72.When TNT made a late surge, closing the gap to 99-112, Nonoy again stepped up, sinking a crucial three-pointer that effectively sealed the victory for Terrafirma. Import Brandon Edwards provided crucial support for Nonoy with 19 points, 12 rebounds, and 6 assists. Louie Sangalang added 16 points and 4 rebounds, while Aljun Melecio contributed 10 points. Kemark Cariño also proved valuable with 10 points, all of which came in the third quarter when Terrafirma outscored TNT 38-20. This victory prevented what would have been their third winless conference in franchise history. Meanwhile, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, TNT's two-time Best Import, led their scoring efforts with 41 points, complemented by 10 rebounds, 4 blocks, 3 steals, and 3 assists. However, his impressive performance was not enough to overcome Terrafirma's dominant display. TNT slipped to a 6-3 record, relinquishing their top spot and falling into a tie for fifth place with Rain or Shine. Calvin Oftana contributed 17 points in the loss, while Rey Nambatac and Castro added 12 and 11 points, respectively
