Gilas Pilipinas bucked a slow start and a dry spell in the fourth period against regional rivals Thailand but eventually took care of business, 87-72, to go 2-0 in Group C action of men’s 5×5 basketball at the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou.
Justin Brownlee again led Gilas in scoring with 22 points while CJ Perez added 16 for the inconsistent Gilas side, who found themselves behind by double digits in the first quarter and went scoreless for around four minutes in the fourth.
The win was big, but the manner by which Gilas conducted business raised questions about their readiness to take on Jordan on Saturday.
