Japeth Aguilar came through with a superb shooting display as Pilipinas-Smart Gilas trounced Al Ittihad of Saudi Arabia, 101-69, Saturday night in the 2011 FIBA-Asia Champions Cup at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig City.
Aguilar was the reflection of Gilas' proficient shooting, scoring 20 points to lead the Nationals to their first win in the week-long tournament. He never missed in his 10 shots until in the 1:29 mark when the outcome of the game has already decided.
Gilas shot 43-of-70 from the field, including 38-of-58 from the two-point area and five-of-12 from three-point distance.
"It was a good game for us. We played almost the same as in our tune-up game against them prior to the tournament. We knew that we are the better team," said Gilas coach Rajko Toroman. Read More...
