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.
