Gilas Pilipinas hung tough against a tall and hot-shooting Turkey side before dropping an 84-73 decision in their tuneup game early Friday morning in Istanbul.Trailing by as many as 10 points in the final period, naturalized player Justin Brownlee sealed a searing 11-2 run with a three-pointer to push Gilas Pilipinas to within 66-68.But Turkey , ranked 24th in the world, just proved too much in the final minutes when it uncorked a 16-7 windup to outlast a fighting Philippine team.
That's in sharp contrast to the host squad which knocked down 14 triples in a massive shooting display to bring down Gilas Pilipinas.Brownlee led Gilas with 21 points, but characterized the shooting struggles of the Philippine team in the three-point arc after making just 1-of-7.Seven-time PBA Most Valuable Player June Mar Fajardo churned out a double-double of 17 markers and 10 boards despite battling Turkey's big frontline.
