ENERGEN PILIPINAS over SINGAPORE, 70-52
PHL 70 - Vito 13, Tolentino 13, Diputado 9, Pascual 8, Cani 8, Lao 8, Asilum 5, Brill 2, Javelosa 2, Tongco 2, Babilonia 0,
SIN 52 - Lim 11, Goh 10, Tay JY 8, Toh 7, Chua 5, Tay WC 4, Han 4, Lee 3, Cheok 0, Tee 0, Ng 0, Ridzuan 0
QS: 17-6, 34-18, 50-41, 70-52
- The Pinoys had an unexpectedly hard time putting the Singaporeans away. Singapore cameo out of the halftime gates blazing, outscoring the Philippines, 23-16 in the 3rd stanza to provide a significant threat.
- The Philippines failed to convert all of their 22 attempts from beyond the arc. It's a good thing that their size was able to offset that statistic. The Filipinos outrebounded the Singaporeans, and had more points in the paint as well as second chance points.
- Energen Pilipinas goes up 4-0 while the SIngaporeans fall to 1-3, and are thus eliminated from qualifying for the FIBA-Asia U16.
MALAYSIA over LAOS, 83-56
MAS 83 - Chua 22, Singh 13, Tong 9, Sim 9, Tan ZH 9, Liew 8, Foo 5, Tan HK 4, Keng 3, Yew 1, Ng 0
LAO 56 - Inthavixay 14, Phommasone 14, Bouphaheuanghak 11, Thavonphaneuk 10, Sengthong 3, Louangphommasone 2, Sengsouliya 2, Bounkhoum 0, Thammavong 0, Labouaphieng 0
QS: 24-11, 42-20, 64-43, 83-56
- Malaysia proved to be too much for the Laotians. The Malaysians shot 10 triples, had more rebounds and scored better underneath. They led from the start and never looked back.
- It's clear that Laos has a helluva long way to go before they make some noise in the regional basketball scene. They forced Malaysia to commit 23 turnovers, but only produced 2 points off these turnovers.
- Malaysia clinches 2nd spot at 3-1 as Laos ends the tournament winless after four games.
