SEA Games: PHL overpowers Myanmar in lopsided men’s basketball match

From Sea Games website

(Eagle News) — The Myanmar team took a beating from the Philippine team on Tuesday, losing by almost 100 points to the white shirts.

Gilas was clearly the better team even at the start of the game, with players making their shots from the paint and from the three-point lane without any defense hounding them as much.

The Myanmar team exerted efforts to contain the Philippines but the white shirts continued on with their streak, and increased their lead further in the second quarter, with young Kobe Paras dunking all over the Myanmar players.

The third and fourth quarters saw Gilas extending their lead further, and the Myanmar team continuing to scramble in their defense and offense.

The final score: 129-34.
