MANILA, Philippines — North America did a decent job limiting the production of reigning National Finals Most Valuable Player John Eimrod Rodulfa.
But the select group of players from North America and Canada forgot the Philippine under-20 squad's supporting cast, which stepped up big to help out their team captain.Karl Benedict Wood finished with 28 points while three other players contributed double figures as the Philippines, represented by the National Finals 2004 champion Davao-NTB Wolves, outlasted North America, 82-73.
Yet, the Philippines was still able to pick up a victory and joined opening day winners Canada and Thailand.Thailand's Trail International School ran roughshod over UK-Kampi Basketball, 106-72.Jaspher Kurihara and Don Wayde Basadre each tallied 27 points apiece, but the former came through with a more solid game by adding seven assists in a better all-around performance to spearhead Thailand's explosive debut in the Pilipinas Super League's flagship event.
