Smart Gilas
opened their redemptive campaign in the 2013 Super Kung Sheung Cup by beating a
young and raw Indonesian side, 110-78.
Continuing
the hot shooting they showed in Dubai, Garvo Lanete and KG Cañaleta lit up the
scoreboard anew for Gilas with 23 and 17 points respectively. Both players hit
three triples each to lead the Pinoys in the expected rout of their SEABA
rivals. Gary David, Jake Pascual, and Kevin Alas all scored in double-figures
to help Team Pilipinas rebound after a disappointing sixth place finish in the
recently concluded Dubai International Basketball tourney.
Naturalized
center Marcus Douthit registered just 2 points and 4 rebounds, but Gilas hardly
needed him as the Filipinos were just clearly too good for the Indons.
