The Pilipinas Warriors came tantalizingly close in upending the Afghans, inching to within 49-50 with 1:32 to go on Kenneth Christopher Tapia’s drive but couldn’t get over the hump in absorbing their second straight loss in Group A.
HANGZHOU – The Philippines fell short of their comeback bid, absorbing a 49-53 heartbreaker at the hands of Afghanistan on Friday, Oct. 20, in the 4th Hangzhou Asian Para Games wheelchair basketball tournament at the Hangzhou Olympic Center Gymnasium here.That proved to be the Filipinos’ last basket as Sayed Wasim Sadat and Fazal Aziz Malik combined for the last three points in the waning seconds as the Afghans bounced back from their 33-91 thrashing of Iran the previous day.
Arsalah Afzali proved to be a huge thorn with one clutch basket after another in pacing Afghanistan with 20 points while bull-strong Asadulla Abdulla Rahimzai added 10 points. Perea could not help but note that their rivals tried to bully his boys “yung iba pa nga ginugulungan,” citing the case of Tapia, whose left hand was run over by one of the Afghan players in the second quarter. “I was contesting to the referee that it was not a regular foul. Naulit pa muli,” he said.
