Javi Gomez de Liano added 17, while import Thomas de Thaey had 15 markers and 12 rebounds.Led by Mike Ayonayon, Rey Suerte and Chris Ortiz, the Bossing tried to turn the tide in the third period where they pulled to within 65-62 following Ayonayon triple 53 seconds left in the quarter.But the Dyip outshot the Bossing in the payoff period with Tiongson, Kemark Carino and Paul Cahilig hitting crucial shots to secure the victory.Tiongson, who has been the Dyip&#x27;s main gunner, credited the win to his teammates.“’Di ko naman magagawa &#x27;yun by myself, crucial din sila,” he said in the post game presser.Meanwhile, Terrafirma coach Johndel Cardel said the team learned not to surrender the lead following their previous games.“’Yung last game namin is a learning experience. We gave away 10 points, because they relaxed. This time when we led by 10 points, niremind ko sa kanila ‘yun,” he said.“This third and fourth quarter are very important for us, kaya kelangan we stay focused on keeping the lead from the first half, play defense, get the rebound.”It was the Dyip&#x27;s first win in the tourney after opening its season campaign with a 103-108 loss to NorthPort last Friday.The Bossing, meanwhile, fell to their second straight defeat after starting their campaign with a win against Converge.
