No more shockers on this one—The Blur and company made sure of that.
A day after its shocking, embarrassing defeat to lowly Palestine, Gilas Pilipinas bounced back mightily, decimating Hong Kong 101–50 in a game that was pretty much over by halftime.
In a virtual must-win, Gilas Pilipinas started out with guns ablazing, storming out to another emphatic first quarter behind the efforts of naturalized center Andray Blatche, Gilas 2.0 holdovers Ranidel de Ocampo and Jayson Castro, and many-time national team member Dondon Hontiveros. It was a first quarter eerily reminiscent of the Palestine game, but the next three quarters were anything but. Rather than falter, Team Pilipinas continued its stellar play, pouring on the points and locking down the young Hong Kong squad up until the final buzzer.
