MANILA, Philippines -- Juami Tiongson deflected the credit to his teammates and coaches after a superb performance that sparked TerraFirma's victory against San Miguel Beer on Wednesday.
Tiongson, who is in his third season with the Dyip, added seven assists, three rebounds, and three steals to his statline as TerraFirma won for the first time in the 2021 PBA Philippine Cup."Everyone stepped up, Eric stepped, everyone stepped up. From our coaching staff to our utility, everyone did," said Tiongson.
"Just like with every game, as much as possible, I try to stay calm, try to have fun," he said of his mindset against the Beermen. But Dyip coach John Cardel stressed that the scoring responsibility won't fall solely on Tiongson's shoulders.
