RP Smart Gilas Team Still Unbeaten in Australia

The Philippine Smart Gilas basketball team continues to show vast improvement and devastating form as it nailed its third win in four game by clobbering and outgunning the heftier and taller Canberra Gunners at the Belconnen Basketball Stadium in Canberra, Australia.

Feisty UST upstart Dylan Ababou scored a game-high 20 points with five three-pointers to lead the offensive charge of the Philippine team to notch its third win and preserving a lean slate in the six-game Aussie tour.

The gutsy Filipino side, already secured victories over the Australia’s Under 19-Squad, 78-67, Australia Team B 79-73 and drew with AIS 73 all.

The team is coached by the impressive Serbian Rajko Toroman, who played a big part in steering the Iranian national basketball quintet in the last Olympics held in Beijing.

The RP squad scorched its latest Aussie victim with series of outside shooting, scoring a remarkable 15 three-pointers even as Mac Baracael chipped in 15 points while team leader Christian Tiu posted 14 points to reinforce the heroics of Ababou’s in the game.
