Justin Brownlee had an efficient 17 points on 50 percent shooting to go with 4 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals.
The win was also revenge for the Philippines who had lost to the Cedars back in Window 4, 85-81. Gilas Pilipinas are now on a four-game winning streak heading into their final game of the Asian Qualifiers on 27 February against Jordan. That game will also be played at the Philippine Areana, the venue of the Final Phase of the World Cup later this year.
Another debutant, Mason Amos, was also impressive in his first Gilas stint, putting up 13 points without a single miss, including three three-pointers. Turning Points: The Philippines took the lead early on and never let it go with a 13-0 run in the second quarter creating the gap that Gilas would hang onto until the final buzzer.
