Justin Brownlee makes up for his shooting woes with an all-around effort as Gilas Pilipinas improves to 2-0 in the Asian Games
MANILA, Philippines – Gilas Pilipinas survived one of the rare times Justin Brownlee struggled offensively and eked out an 87-72 win over Thailand to stay unbeaten in the Asian Games in Hangzhou, China on Thursday, September 28.
Notwithstanding his shooting woes, Brownlee hit key buckets in the fourth quarter as the Philippines weathered a comeback storm from Thailand powered by Frederick Lish, who scattered 12 of his 22 points in the period. But Brownlee pulled through when it mattered most, sparking and capping a 9-3 blitz with a three-pointer and a pair of free throws that restored order for the Filipinos.
