Pilipinas beats up Hanguk 105-78
27 points was the margin of victory. Considering it was Hanguk, Macau will be another close game unless we have better game shape next week. Again, a win is a win, so I will take the W over a loss any day. We are up 2-0 now for those of you who don't check the standings. Macau lost to Australia today by 23 points. The Aussies were able to pull away with the victory late in the fourth quarter. Macau played normal, the Aussies took it easy. So we will have a very slight enthusiasm advantage.
Our first five played really well and maintained the lead for three quarters. De la pena got top honors with 22 points. Macau is next. If you guys can start showing me proficient game shape then I can assure you we will win that game easily (against Macau). Three of our high salaried bigs had proficient game shape so please keep it up. They played solid for team Pilipinas.
Moving forward, after Macau we will be facing the top teams in our pool. Go team Pilipinas!
