The point of no return is upon Gilas Pilipinas. Whatever hope remains, its flickering embers must be fanned on Sunday
Whatever hope remains, its flickering embers must be fanned on Sunday .
Angola in the continuation of Group A action in the 2023 FIBA World Cup at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. For three and a half quarters, the Filipinos were in the face of the world no. 23 with Towns carrying his team home in the final three minutes when fellow NBA player Jordan Clarkson fouled out. If there was something about the game that pleased Reyes, though, it was the fact that his big men – AJ Edu and June Mar Fajardo, in particular – didn’t shy away from the spotlight on the world stage. Fajardo was a force underneath finishing with 16 points while Edu put on a tough defensive stand against Towns who had to bleed for all of his 26 points.
Of course, Clarkson would be the focal point of the attack after dropping 28 points in his World Cup debut although his fouls and turnovers are something Gilas coaches are surely taking a closer look at. A victory over Angola would be a repeat triumph for the Philippines against an African opponent in the World Cup.
