The Gilas Women continued their onslaught at the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, China as they overpowered Hong Kong Friday.
The Philippine women’s basketball team flaunted yet another dominating performance when they pummeled Hong Kong, 99-63, at the Shaoxing Olympic Sports Centre to stay undefeated in the preliminary stage.
Janine Pontejos was once again at the forefront of the country’s offense with 23 points, highlighted by seven triples, while national team veteran Afril Bernardino also had a solid performance with 20 markers. The Philippines entered the second half with a fiery 9-0 salvo sparked by Bernardino’s jumper for a 51-34 advantage, more than seven minutes left in the third period.
Camille Nolasco widened the separation down the stretch with a booming three-pointer, 65-43, and never looked back.
