The Philippines' Strong Group Athletics nearly had a meltdown, but recovered in the fourth period to eke out a 104-79 victory against United Arab Emirates to open its campaign at the 43rd William Jones Cup on Saturday in Taiwan. SGA, which is looking to complete the country's redemption bid in the annual tournament, kicked off its run with a 1-0 start while UAE slipped to 0-1 in the opening day of the contest.
But the wards of head coach Charles Tiu were unfazed, responding with a massive 21-4 rampage capped by a Dave Ildefonso basket that brought them to a 30-point cushion at 94-64 late in the frame. Geo Chiu then put the dagger with his two-handed slam off an RJ Abarrientos dime in the final 51 seconds, 104-77.
