Andray Blatche and Japeth Aguilar stand out in the Philippines' campaign in the sixth and final window

MANILA, Philippines – Gilas Pilipinas’ campaign in the sixth and final window of the 2019 FIBA World Cup Asian Qualifiers wasn’t short of highlight-worthy plays. 

And Andray Blatche and Japeth Aguilar stood out as the Philippines punched its World Cup ticket with rousing back-to-back victories over Qatar and Kazakhstan. 

Blatche grabbed a spot in the top 10 with his sterling first-quarter display in the Philippines’ 93-75 triumph Kazakhstan that saw him knock down 5 triples, the last coming off a steal and over two defenders. 

Aguilar, meanwhile, showed off his bounce in the international stage with a reverse no-look jam off a nifty bounce pass from Jayson Castro in the Philippines’ 84-46 romp of Qatar. – Rappler.com
