Gilas enters FIBA quaterfinals as top seed after win over India

Gilas Pilipinas bucked a cold start and pulled away in the third quarter to hand India a 99-65 beating in the 2015 FIBA Asia Championship on Tuesday, September 29 in Changsha, Hunan, China. The Philippine national men’s basketball team swept Group E in the second round competition to finish as the top seed with a 4-1 record entering the quarterfinals. Terrence Romeo unloaded 20 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals to lead 6 Gilas players in double figures. Andray Blatche posted 15 points and 3 rebounds, while Ranidel De Ocampo added 13 points and 3 rebounds. Gilas was relaxed and slow in the early goings of the game.
