Pilipinas sinks Singapore, 126-84
Pilipinas made a loud statement in their matchup against Singapore, overwhelming them with a commanding 126–84 victory. From start to finish, the squad displayed a perfect mix of offense, defense, and teamwork that left no doubt about their strength.
Fortunato Arcega led the charge 16pts & 11rebs, while Melecio Sidad added 16pts & 6asts. Jerome Maluenda chipped in 15pts & 6rebs as the scoring depth of Pilipinas shone through — with 9 different players putting up double-digit points.
Hutch Ordoves orchestrated the offense brilliantly, tallying 11asts alongside 10pts, while Dave Lemoncito controlled the glass with 12rebs. Overall, Pilipinas completely dictated the game, holding a 52–23 edge in rebounds and 32–20 in assists, highlighting their chemistry and ball movement.
Next week, big game na naman against powerhouse Taiwan. Kakakuha lang nila ng unang panalo nila sa 2nd round against Malaysia. Ang unang dalawang laro nila ay parehong talo laban sa Australia at Lebanon. They will be eager to get another W kaya sana ay maganda pa rin ang GS natin pagkatapos ng biyernes.
Maraming salamat sa lahat nang patuloy na sumusuporta. Laban Pilipinas!
