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.

Pilipinas NT Report:
Panthers stun Taiwan, 106-95


Dingdong Fornoles scored 39 points to lead the Pilipinas Panthers win against Taiwan, 106-95.

This was a pleasant surprise for the Filipinos, who outhustled the Taiwanese (+10 in rebounds, +4 in steals) throughout the match. “I came in and did my part. What’s important is we win all of our games so we can finish this round with no loss”, Fornoles said after the game.

With the victory against Taiwan, all that’s left now for the Panthers is to win against Malaysia. “I really think we can do it, but I wouldn’t want to be complacent. We still have to face South Korea and Thailand”, Coach Lord Woody said in a text message. “That being said, I am happy with what we’ve accomplished. We have a shot in sweeping this round, and hopefully face Indonesia in the cross-over semifinals.”

When asked to comment about Indonesia’s run, Coach Lord Woody said “Well, we won against them last time, so look forward to meeting them in the next round.”

NT Press Release:
Pilipinas trounces Korea, 111-70


Gabriel Hosillos led six players in double-figures, as Team Pilipinas made quick work of Korea, 111-70.

The Panthers pounced on a hapless Korean squad in the first half, 59-25. GM-Perpete, the Korean coach, must have forgotten to plug the controller in the first half. The match was closely fought during the second half, with Team Pilipinas outscoring Korea, 52-45.

“I am happy with how we played against Korea, but I am more focused on our matchup against Malaysia. That, to me, is our objective.” Coach Lord Woody said during the post-game news conference. He is right – a win against Malaysia gives the Panthers a huge chance in sweeping this round.

The Panthers are set to take two days off for some rest and recreation at the Loreland Farm Resort in Antipolo.
