ANTIPOLO—Terrafirma set a PBA record for most rebounds in a game during a winning start to its 2026 Governors’ Cup campaign here.

The Dyip hauled down 94 rebounds in the 113-100 rout of the Titan Ultra Giant Risers at Ynares Center here to break the previous mark set 43 years ago.

Gilbey’s Gin, now Barangay Ginebra, hauled down 87 boards during a 148-139 win over Toyota in the Reinforced Conference held on June 25, 1983.

Rookie Geo Chiu highlighted Terrafirma’s record-evening by grabbing a career-high 23 rebounds in the win.

Import Justin Strings was the other player with double-digit figures in the glass with 16 while rookie JM Bravo and veteran guard Maverick Ahanmisi had nine rebounds apiece.

Terrafirma also recorded 40 offensive boards, the second-most in a single PBA game. The record is 42, which was set by Tanduay back in the 1980 All-Filipino Conference against U-Tex.

Aside from the rebounding, Terrafirma got plenty of offensive production from the likes of Strings with 25 and Chiu with 19, also a career-high.
