Five years ago inside a packed Mall of Asia Arena, Gilas Pilipinas humiliated Kazakhstan, 88-58 in the 2013 FIBA Asia Championship quarter-finals, a game now famously known as the ‘Gary David game’ as the sharpshooter nailed 22 points including 4-of-6 from three-point land in that contest.
Kazakhstan, then a mix of veterans and youngsters, bowed out of that tournament in one of the worst ways possible.
Star Alexandr Zhigulin fired 30 points to power Kazakhstan to a gutsy 92-88 win over Gilas Pilipinas on Friday, November 30 in the FIBA Basketball World Cup Asian Qualifiers fifth window at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Zhigulin shot an efficient 10-of-16 shooting including 6-of-12 from three-point area and added seven rebounds as his side held on for the stunning upset victory in what was mostly a back-and-forth duel.
Gilas Pilipinas lost to Kazakhstan, 92-88 to start the 5th window of the 2019 FIBA World Cup Asian Qualifiers. Stanley Pringle with 29 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds.
