The Gilas Pilipinas squad did not back down from the physical and dirty tactics of the Russian squad, Spartak Primorye, one of the previously undefeated team in the Jones Cup.

During game against the Filipino, emotions ran high in one of the highly-physical and dirty tactics of the Russians where a near melee erupted at the onset of the first quarter when Terrence Romeo traded cheap shots with Spartak top gunner Aleksei Goliakhov.

The referees of the game trid to separate the two players, but an unexpected turned of events happened when Alimdzhan Fediushin threw the ball on Terrence Romeo’s face triggering a near bench-clearing fight with center Asi Taulava, one of the oldest and the most veteran member of the Gilas squad, tried running after the Russian center.

Before a melee could happen, cooler heads prevailed during the near scuffle, when Goliakhov, Romeo and Fediushin were (–foul word(s) removed–)sed with a technical foul each.

After the hotly-contested game, the Philippines prevailed with the final score at 85-71 and improve their record to 2-1 in the 37th William Jones Cup.
