JUST IN. Gilas Pilipinas tastes sweet payback by fighting back from an 11-point deficit to dethrone Indonesia! SEAGames32 Cambodia2023
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia – Gilas Pilipinas kept its redemption campaign in the Southeast Asian Games alive by exacting revenge on the same team that dislodged it from the top.
The Philippines tasted sweet payback as it dethroned Indonesia with a come-from-behind 84-76 victory to advance to the men’s 5-on-5 basketball finals at the Morodok Techo Sports Complex here on Monday, May 15. Justin Brownlee put the Filipinos on his back with 34 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks, hitting a pair of key three-pointers late to propel the Philippines to a rematch with Cambodia for the coveted gold medal.
Indonesia still led 74-70 with four minutes left before Brownlee scored 8 straight points – highlighted by back-to-back triples – to power a 14-0 run that snatched the win for Gilas Pilipinas. The Cambodians, fielding several naturalized players from the United States, advanced to the finals for the first time ever after disposing of Thailand, 76-66, in the other semifinal pairing.
