Gilas Pilipinas bucked a flat start and survived a fourth quarter flurry from Thailand to claim an 87-72 victory in their second game of the 19th Asian Games on Thursday.
But some big buckets by Ange Kouame and Justin Brownlee restored order for Gilas, and they improved to 2-0 in Group C after the contest at the Zhejiang University Zijingang Gymnasium. The Philippines led 68-50 after the third period and looked to be on their way to a comfortable win, only to give up a 13-0 run to Thailand to open the fourth quarter. The tandem of Tyler Lamb and Frederick Lish did the heavy lifting for the Thais, with Lamb's three-pointer making it a five-point game with still over six minutes left, 68-63.
Thailand last threatened when Chanatip Jakrawan scored to make it 79-70 with 3:13 left, but the Philippines' defense held the fort the rest of the way.
