Coach Chot Reyes, Gilas players takes to twitter to say 'thank you' & 'sorry'

The Smart Gilas just couldn't connect their outside shots and Qatar wins in the battle for third place in the 4th FIBA Asia Cup Saturday in Tokyo, Japan. Final score is 79-63.




Poor 3-pt. shooting spelled doom for Smart Gilas in this game against the battle tested Qatar as they shot just 2 of 18 from rainbow country or an anemic 11% accuracy. They were also outrebounded by Qatar, 47-31.

Marcus Douthit, who sprained his ankle in the first half, topscored for the Philippines with 17 points and nine rebounds. Gary David, Jared Dillinger, and Gabe Norwood chipped in 15, 12, and 10 points respectively.

Pasensya na po sa aming nakayanan. Ipinapangako Po namin na patuloy naming ipaglalaban Ang ating bandila at itataguyod ang ating karangalan
