“Sobrang sarap sa pakiramdam kanina, sayang, ‘di namin natuloy iyong momentum na iyon,” said Sotto in the aftermath of their 87-68 loss to South Sudan Thursday night, Aug. 31, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. The crowd erupted midway of the final frame as Gilas cut the lead by just four, 60-54, courtesy of an Sotto's alley-oop dunk off an excellent pass from fellow big man AJ edu.“We made an adjustment and 'di na namin natuloy 'yung run na 'yun, siguro dun na nag-separate 'nung fourth quarter,” Sotto stressed.
