Changsha China
FIBA Asia 2015 News: Gilas Pilipinas Basketball burns Kuwait NT, 110-64, this Friday holiday in the FIBA Asia 2015, Changsha China. Terrence Romeo topscored for Gilas with 19 markers, while Jayson “The Blur” Castro added 16 points in a game that almost ended in a free for all.
Philippines ensured the win with a 110-64 romp, with the last minutes marred by tension. Kuwait’s Alhamidi hit Ranidel De Ocampo in the groin with over a minute remaining in the game. De Ocampo hit him back with an elbow to the face, to which the referrees failed to muster a call. Alhamidi tried to instigate chaos but was thrown out before any fight ensued.
Four Filipinos finished with double digit points with Romeo, Castro, JC Intal and Calvin Abueva dropping 19, 16, 10 and 10 each respectively. Andray Blatche scored a total of 8 points since he was not reinserted in the fourth, with Asi Taulava and Sonny Thoss manning the paint.
Philippine Basketball Team shot 56.2% trey shooting with 9 of 16 threepoints bombs, and 56.1% total fieldgoals clip. RP Five outrebounded Kuwait 52 to 26, and passed better with RP’s 14 to 11 assists of Kuwait. However, Pilipinas shot a dismal freethrow percentage with 19 of 31 charities made for a 61% percentage.
In the third canto, Hontiveros drilled several treys along with the scoring barrage of Castro and Blatche to push RP ahead by 39 points 87-48, as the third quarter closed.
At the half, Kuwait kept on creeping-in to the Filipino lead with consecutive treys of Abu Dhom, but Philippines quelled the uprising temporarily by forcing 12 turnovers and stealing the ball 6 times. Taulava led in rebounds with 7. Castro and De Ocampo also jumpstarted Philippines with 9 points apiece at the end of the half.
In the first quarter, RP Five relied on balanced team-scoring to lead 34-11 at the end of the first.
