Naomi Panganiban starred in her seniors debut, but Gilas Pilipinas just could not find the answer to the fiery offense of Chinese Taipei, absorbing a 73-60 loss to kick off their campaign at the William Jones Cup on Saturday in Taiwan. The Filipinas were able to close the gap in the third quarter but Chinese Taipei caught fire in the fourth to ultimately seal the deal and take a 1-0 lead in the women's division. The Philippine bet, meanwhile, fell to a 0-1 slate.
A jumper from the 18-year-old Panganiban trimmed Gilas' deficit to just seven before entering the payoff period, but Chinese Taipei suddenly went hot from the rainbow country. Three straight triples from them sent the Philippines to a 71-57 hole before Panganiban tried to stage a desperate late comeback attempt with a jumper of her own. However, that can't rally Gilas back from the huge gap as Chinese Taipei cruised to the victory.
