Gilas Youth draws prolific performances from Alex Konov, Caelum Harris, and Jared Bahay to pull off a come-from-behind win over Iran.
MANILA, Philippines – Gilas Youth ended its FIBA U16 Asian Championship campaign on a winning note after a come-from-behind 95-87 victory over Iran in Doha, Qatar, on Sunday, June 19.
Alex Konov shot the lights out off the bench by netting a team-high 18 points on a 4-of-9 clip from three-point land for the Filipinos, who also drew prolific performances from Caelum Harris, Jared Bahay, and Andy Gemao. A 9-2 blitz propped up the Iran lead to 9 points, but the Philippines answered with a blazing 16-2 run – with Gemao dropping all of his 7 points during the stretch – to seize a 68-63 lead going into the final frame.
Renzo Competente also shone in the victory with 14 points, including the trey that gave Gilas Youth its biggest lead of the game at 84-70 with under six minutes left.
