Steven Khoo red in action against Malaysia. Ng Hanbin lays up for Singapore in their game against the Stadium Basketball Club of Indonesia during the August invitational held at home. Gilas Pilipinas overcame a sluggish start Friday before hammering Vietnam for its second straight win.
While Gilas showed its depth in thumping Vietnam behind a solid second half offensive, Ravena said the road to SEA Games gold won't be easy. We just have to be on our toes, especially these coming days.
You can see other countries having their basketball associations now," Slaughter said. You can see competition rising really.
