GILAS OUT FOR BLOOD

Game tonight (Taipei Heping Basketball Gymnasium) 7 p.m. - Chinese-Taipei vs Philippines

And now the Nationals are out for blood as they shift to the third and final window of the FIBA Asia Cup Qualifiers.

First target on their sights is Chinese-Taipei, a retooled squad gunning for payback on home ground tonight at the Taipei Heping Basketball Gymnasium.

"We're trying to erase all the bad juju that happened to us in the Middle East. It was tough," Cone said on PBA Rush.

He was referring to the blowout losses they received from the Cedars (54-75) and the Pharaohs (55-86) that followed their comefrom-behind 74-71 win over host Qatar recently in the run-up to the road assignment in Taipei.
