Pilipinas escapes Scotland with the win, 93-80
Both teams started out slow and struggled to shoot the ball in the 1st quarter. The 2nd quarter proved the same with us scoring a bit more. Scotland managed to have 8 blks in the 1st half at nakatulong yun sa struggle natin. On the flip side, may 3 fouls each ang tatlong bigs nila (Lennie, Skene & MacPhee) at the half pero hindi natin nagawang ma-foul out sila bago matapos ang laro. The 2nd half was the same back and forth at nahirapan tayong kumalag mula sa kanila, we managed to gradually pull away with less than 5 minutes to go plus nag-intentional foul na sila with a minute left.
The starters were led by Benson Villarivera (24pts, 8rebs) and Jiffrey Sumalapao (23pts, 2rebs, 6asts) with Delfin Orais pitching in 14pts & 5rebs. Melecio Sidad struggled again off the bench with the same 1-8 shooting as last game against South Africa. The bench was lifted by Augustus Moleno with 10pts, 6rebs & 2asts.
Sa susunod na linggo, uwi naman tayo to host Thailand. Hopefully maganda ang GS natin considering all star week this week at dalawang game lang ang karamihan sa atin.
Laban Pilipinas!
