COACH Chot Reyes said he was surprised Gilas Pilipinas was able to match world’s no. 18 Montenegro toe to toe
in the first half of their tuneup game at the Philsports Arena Sunday evening, before NBA star Nikola Vucevic of the Chicago Bulls took matters into his own hands starting in the second half.
Vucevic, who unloaded three triples, got big help from Bojan Dubljevic with 16 points, along with naturalized player Kendrick Perry , and Vladimir Mhailovic .For the second straight tuneup game, the Filipinos fumbled the ball lots of times. Against Montenegro, they had 19 errors, which followed an 18-turnover game against Ivory Coast the night before.
“When we started the third quarter with three straight turnovers, then they scored two three-pointers for an 8-0 run, that turned the tide. When we give good quality teams like Montenegro a lead like that, it will be tough to recover,” said Reyes.
