Still missing several key players and welcoming back Justin Brownlee just recently, Gilas Pilipinas falls prey to Estonia in the first tuneup game of its FIBA World Cup preparations.
MANILA, Philippines – Gilas Pilipinas’ growing pains for its FIBA World Cup buildup showed as it dropped the first tuneup game of its European training camp.
Gilas Pilipinas’ 16-8 run highlighted by key buckets from Thirdy Ravena, Poy Erram, and June Mar Fajardo bridging the third and fourth quarters trimmed a 47-58 deficit to a single possession, 63-66, with six minutes left. Brownlee, who is battling Jordan Clarkson and Angelo Kouame for the lone naturalized player spot, scored just 8 points with 4 rebounds against 3 turnovers as he left late in the third quarter due to an apparent injury.
T. Ravena backstopped Ramos in scoring with 9 points, CJ Perez put up 7 points, and Rhenz Abando chimed in 5 points and 2 steals.Top guard Scottie Thompson did not see action, while Gilas Pilipinas newcomer AJ Edu did not make the 12-man lineup as he continues to recover from an ankle sprain.
