MARIKINA CITY, Philippines – Banking on nerve-wracking shots, Philippines pulverized Indonesia as Joshua Caracut led his co-players to display a whopping 109-46 victory in the basketball boys’ division of the 6th ASEAN Schools Games at Marist School Gymnasium, Thursday, December 4.
Caracut registered 17 points for the Philippines while his teammates provided a tough back-up offense as JR Gumtang scored 16 points.
Germy Mahinay ensured the triumph as he commenced an 11-1 rally behind Gumtang and Norrish Decapia to seal the victory.
“Siguro ang ang naging advantage namin sa kanila ay yung skills at bilis namin. Summer pa lang kasi marami na kaming ginawa.” Marc Diputado said.
The Filipinos demonstrated a splendid dominion to limit the Indonesians to five, as Diputado, with Nikko Abatayo, unleashed his burning jumpshots to safeguard a huge 26-point advantage after the first canto, 31-5.
Crowd favorite Samuel Abuhijlen showed fantastic poise as he nailed three consecutive drives followed by two treys of Caracut to carve out a 54-19 mark at the end of the first half.
“We need to improve our teamwork and hustle so we can win the game,” Fikri Abirawa of Indonesia said.
The Indonesians tried to catch up as Akbar Pitranugrana, along with other teammates, combined for 10 points but this point production did not even disturb the outstanding offense of JB Sison’s group, en route to 74-36 in the third quarter.
The host country controlled the rest of the game with Gumtang leading in the scoring of the team, 109-46.
“I admit that the Philippines is a better team than us,” Abirawa said.
