Pilipinas destroys Singapore, 129-77

Kidlat Celebria scored 23 points to lead six scorers in double figures and Team Pilipinas pulled away to rout Singapore, 129-77 Monday night.

The Filipinos began the game with a 42-point first quarter, and did not look back. “I’m just glad we are racking up the points against our opponents. We still have two more games left, and our primary objective is to win both match-ups and advance to the next round,” Coach Lord Woody said after the game. “We currently have the second highest point differential in the tournament (behind Hong Kong), so all of this will be for nothing if we do not make the necessary preparations. We need to practice really hard”, said Lord Woody. “Because of this, I look forward to have RC (Cardino) shoot a couple more shots during our team practice this Thursday”. Cardino finished the game with 0 of 6 shooting from the field.

The Filipinos will next face Indonesia (3-1), while Singapore plans to get their third win in the tournament against Australia (4-0).

NT Press Release:
Pilipinas defeats Indonesia, 99-83

The Pilipinas Panthers continue their win streak in the Asian Championship Tournament, beating Indonesia, 99-83.

Gabriel Hosillos led the Filipinos with 19 points, but shot a poor 25% from the field. He made up for it by converting 13 of 15 free throws. “At least I know how to convert free throws,” Hosillos said after the game.

Coach Lord Woody was not impressed with the team’s performance. “The good news is we converted 94% of our free throw attempts. We have to do better in the field when we face Australia on Monday.”

NT Press Release:
Pilipinas beats Australia, 91-74

Team Pilipinas outscored Australia in the final quarter by 24 points to win their last game in the Group A round robin pool of the Asia Championship Tournament, 91-74. Dingdong Fornoles, Ramsey Paspe, Kidlat Celebria, and Guillermo Penasales scored at least 6 points each in the final quarter to secure the win.

Australia must have gotten inspiration from the 2016 Atlanta Falcons, dominating the game for 3 quarters before collapsing in epic fashion. “I’m thinking of getting the Australian coach a Matt Ryan jersey and Dann Quinn autograph,” Coach Lord Woody said after the match. The Panthers will close out Pool A undefeated, and will join Thailand, Malaysia, Iran, Taiwan, and South Korea in Pool D of the phase of the tournament. “I like our chances in this bracket. I honestly feel we can win at least four games, and maybe upset Taiwan and Malaysia. Maybe we can win all of our matches,” Coach Lord Woody continued.

The Panthers face 34th ranked Iran in their next match.
