The win was a far cry from the 84-46 blowout led by Jordan Clarkson at the Mall of Asia Arena in the last window. Still, the win meant Gilas completing a sweep of the Saudis in the qualifiers. Roger Pogoy found his rhythm in that canto, drilling three treys to catapult the Philippines to its biggest lead at 16, 50-34.
Pogoy wound up with 13 points and four boards, Sotto had 11 points, nine rebounds, five blocks, two dimes, and one steal, and Thompson almost posted a double-double of nine points, nine boards, three assists, and two steals.
