Road gets tougher for Gilas
The Philippine Star
|December 03, 2025
There were some rough patches in Gilas’ 95-71 win over Guam in the FIBA World Cup Asia qualifiers at the Blue Eagle Gym last Monday. Gilas blew a 27-point second quarter lead that was razed to nine twice, gave up five more offensive rebounds, had three more turnovers, yielded five more triples and allowed Jericho Cruz and Takumi Simon a combined 50 points.
But the bright spots were Gilas’ interior defense, balanced offense, unselfish play and a high-octane pace that delivered a 22-3 advantage in fastbreak points. In the two wins over Guam, Gilas averaged 24 assists and 14.5 turnovers for a 1.6:1 ratio. Like in the first game, coach Tim Cone deployed all 12 players in the rematch. The deep rotation will be useful against bigger and slower opponents.
