Tiongson lit up the Gin Kings with nine triples to finish with 31 points while lifting Terrafirma to the franchise&#x27;s first-ever win against Ginebra.But the 5-foot-10 point guard also gave credit to his teammates.&quot;It wouldn&#x27;t be possible if everyone didn&#x27;t do their roles.. Everyone did their part,&quot; said Tiongson, who also tallied six assists, three rebounds and three steals. Eric Camson and Aldrech Ramos also gave the Dyip major boost, by scoring 15 and 11, respectively, for the team&#x27;s first back-to-back victory since the 2017 Commissioner&#x27;s Cup.&quot;I want to give this credit to all my players...
