The Philippine Star

SPORTING CHANCE
It looks like host Thailand will face the Philippines in the much-awaited final of 5x5 men’s basketball at the Bangkok SEA Games tomorrow.
But first, Gilas has to beat the winner of yesterday’s quarterfinal playoff between Indonesia and Vietnam in today’s semifinals while Thailand is poised to trounce the survivor of the quarterfinal playoff between Malaysia and Singapore in the other semifinal pairing.
The stars are expected to align for the Thais and Gilas to slug it out for the coveted gold in the cherished event. Thailand has never struck gold in 5x5 basketball at the SEA Games while the Philippines has won 19 of 22 editions since 1977 with Malaysia in 1979 and 1989 and Indonesia in 2021 the only other champions.
