On pins and needles through the first 34 minutes of the game, the Nationals leaned on clutch shots by Matthew Wright, Jio Jalalon, RR Pogoy and Kiefer Ravena to open double-digit spreads before eventually holding off this Taipei squad set to play in the coming Universiade.
“Going to the Jones Cup, I always fear the most playing Taipei B because they play with a lot of energy. They come in and they have nothing to lose. I told the guys come out with maximum effort because the other team will do,” said Gilas coach Chot Reyes.
“At the half, I told the guys now you believe me we can’t take this team lightly. Now you know how serious this team is,” Reyes added.
Cutting down on errors when they needed to in the crunch helped Gilas came through with a follow-up to their 88-72 drubbing of Taipei A the previous night.
