ALLAN THE MAN

Gilas Pilipinas played lackadaisical basketball for the most part, but still did enough to beat Hong Kong, 67-55, to close its 2013 FIBA Asia Championship second round campaign on Wednesday, August 7 at the Mall of Asia Arena.

FIBA Asia Championship 2013. The Philippine national men’s basketball team, Gilas Pilipinas,  flirted with disaster in the first three quarters before cleaning up its act in the final period to defeat Hong Kong, 67-55, on Wednesday at the Mall of Asia Arena.

The victory formally gave Gilas Pilipinas the top spot in Group E, but not before a poor start that had coach Chot Reyes fuming at the sidelines.

Shooting guard Jeff Chan is confident the Philippine basketball team collectively known as Gilas Pilipinas can defeat any team, specifically China, in the ongoing FIBA-Asia Championship.

According to Chan, all they need is to have faith in one another knowing that they have prepared well in order to achieve whatever goal they have in mind for this tournament.
