The Gilas Pilipinas Girls team opened its bid for a Division A promotion in style, dominating Hong Kong, 79-40, for a rousing start in the FIBA U16 Women’s Asian Championship at the Prince Hamza Hall in Amman, Jordan on Monday, July 10. | ManilaBulletin
Suffocating on the defensive end with their ball pressure and relentless on the other with the fast-paced attacks, the Filipinas easily controlled the contest and built a lead that went to as high as 41 points.
The other, Ryan Kelly Nair, chipped in 12 points while newcomers Alyssia Palma added 10 and Ariel Star De La O posted seven points and 12 rebounds. There was a bit of resistance from Hong Kong when it cut the lead down to just four, 15-11, late in the first quarter but that was basically it for them.
