Pilipinas U21 (1-2) Blows Out Indonesia U21 (0-3) 108-52 (40381)

Engelbert Nisperos (38956653) again led the team with 18 points, while Victor Perfecto Suarez (38956273) added a double double with 17 points and 13 rebounds. Manuel Caritat (39709783) finished with 7-8 shooting for 17 points after starting 0-3 from the field.

Pilipinas started well defensively, holding their opponents to 8 points in the opening quarter. However, their shots weren’t falling so they were only able to get 16 points. At the start of the second quarter, it seemed that Pilipinas easily cruise through a victory after a 8-0 run. But after a timeout from Indonesia, they countered with an 8-0 run of their own. From that point onwards things went back and forth until Pilipinas finished the half with a 7-2 run. Finally, Pilipinas was able to pull away in the third outscoring their opponents 29-16. By the fourth quarter, Pilipinas padded their PD through a 39-9 trashing.

Our next game will be against Việt Nam U21, which will be on Monday, January 9, 2017.

After all the games are done, Pilipinas moved from rank 61 to rank 34, leaving us just outside the top 32 teams which will move on to the knockout stage. Among Asian teams, we are second behind Nippon (2-1) and ahead of Australia with 56 PD vs 12 PD.
