Today, Gilas Pilipinas will try to continue the winning streak in the homeland of the Akatsuki 5.<br /><br />With less than a month of practice, the nationals were obviously not in their top shape as they kept on firing blanks as the tournament unfolded. Good news though, Japan had a cold start as the Philippines. <br /><br />Midway of the opener, the score was 4-3 in favor of Philippines. Defensive stops like numerous blocks were Gilas’ only highlights until Japeth Aguilar and Gabe Norwood hyped up the crowd with a back-to-back slams.<br /><div id="unruly-unit"></div><br />Gilas finally found its rhythm and posted its first double-digit lead 14-3 under 3 minutes of the first. June Mar Fajardo dropped 2 consecutive baskets in less than 30 seconds to help Philippines savor the convincing advantage.<br /><br />After the first 10 minutes, Gilas Pilipinas had an 8-point, 18-10 lead.<br /><br />Calvin Abueva started the 2nd quarter for Coach Chot Reyes and without any hesitation, “The Beast” drove hard to the basket couple of times for an instant 5 points under his name.<br /><br />Philippines’ tough defense continued in the 2nd quarter. Gilas blocked Japan under the rim 7 times courtesy of the big men: Andray Blatche, Japeth Aguilar and June Mar Fajardo.<br /><br />Japan, led by Makoto Hijiema fought back and managed to tear down the lead to just 6 with 4 minutes remaining in the half but Jayson Castro-William was able to bring it to 10 as he ended Philippines’ 3-minute scoring drought.<br /><br />Matthew Wright beat the the halftime buzzer off Andray Blatche’s almost-turnover and gave Philippines a 9-point, 37-28.<br /><br />Andray Blatche committed 2 consecutive turnovers that gave Japan a quick 7-0 run. Gilas’ lead was chipped to 2 with just 2 minutes gone by in the third period. <br /><br />Tenketsu Harimoto connected from the outside followed by Yuki Togashi’s triple as Akatsuki totally grabbed the lead from Philippines.<br /><br />Andray Blatche checked back in after being sent back to the bench for committing costly errors. The naturalized player’s presence under the basket gave Philippines the advantage anew 53-46 with 2 minutes remaining in the third.<br /><br />For the second time, Philippines beat the quarter buzzer. Dray Blatche connected from the arc as the clock winded down for the 59-55 slim advantage.<br /><br />Gilas intensified its defense in the beginning of the final quarter.
