Consolation started well, with an historical 117-98 W against #14 Philippines!!!!
Themba Sebe was top scorer with 24 points, despite being as solid as ... a "colapasta" (italian, find translation

) on D-side. 21+8+5 by Motihala and 19+15 by Galvin were the best performances.
Result was a great combination of home field, higher attitude (I could have spent less...

) and TS from WC Qualifier (when PHI spent a MOTS in last match after two normal), not considering the almost perfect GS. Of course, it's not just a pure balancing of actual value, as just looking at different salaries you can cry, but it IS part of team management.
Thank you all, a good victory, hopefully just the first of this Consolation.
