The Journey Continues
It is on to the next round for Gilas Pilipinas, this after another dominant outing against a hapless Kuwaiti side that bowed out of contention with three lopsided losses.
Displaying firepower extraordinaire once more, Team Pilipinas walloped Kuwait 110–64 in a game that was, like the Hong Kong outing, over by halftime.
Spitfire guard Terrence Romeo led the way in this one, scattering a team-high 19 points on an efficient 6 of 10 clip from the field, including a lay-in that came off a dazzling, lightning-quick crossover on the break. Romeo’s backcourt mate, Jayson Castro, was The Blur yet again, blitzing Kuwait for 16 markers on a variety of drives and jumpers. Gilas’s Energizer Bunny, Calvin Abueva, also got into the action early and often, powering his way to 10 points and grabbing 8 rebounds in 14 minutes of all-out effort and nonstop hustle.

Rediscovering the Road to Rio
No more shockers on this one—The Blur and company made sure of that.
A day after its shocking, embarrassing defeat to lowly Palestine, Gilas Pilipinas bounced back mightily, decimating Hong Kong 101–50 in a game that was pretty much over by halftime.
In a virtual must-win, Gilas Pilipinas started out with guns ablazing, storming out to another emphatic first quarter behind the efforts of naturalized center Andray Blatche, Gilas 2.0 holdovers Ranidel de Ocampo and Jayson Castro, and many-time national team member Dondon Hontiveros. It was a first quarter eerily reminiscent of the Palestine game, but the next three quarters were anything but. Rather than falter, Team Pilipinas continued its stellar play, pouring on the points and locking down the young Hong Kong squad up until the final buzzer.
