The Smart Gilas Pilipinas was able to display their basketball skills in a superb way as five of their players were able to score in double figures and they dominated Macau with 98-46 final score and secured their third straight win in the FIBA Asia Cup 2012.
Once again Smart Gilas was led by Jeff Chan by 18 points, while Jay-R Reyes scored with 12 points, Dillinger contributed with 11 points together with Matt Ganuelas Rosser. Gary David on the other hand made a 13 points contribution.
The only amateur on Smart Gilas, Ganuelas Rosser even made an outstanding performance and nearly made a triple double as he contributed also with 9 rebounds and 9 (–foul word(s) removed–)ists in 29 minutes of action.
The Smart Gilas made a fascinating start of the game as they were able to unleash a 14-0 lead to start the first period. Gilas also led as much as 52 points in the game.
