Dominican Republic, Gilas Pilipinas’ opening-day tormentor, pulls off ‘something unbelievable’ after shocking world No. 10 Italy
The Dominicans bucked a slow start against Italy, even trailing 0-12 to start the contest.
Guard Andres Feliz suddenly found his mark and launched a barrage of threes to pull the team within striking distance, and by halftime, they were just behind one.As the third quarter rolled, so did the Dominicans, with Feliz being backstopped by NBA superstar Karl-Anthony Towns. When the final buzzer sounded, the two combined for 48 points, more than half of the point production.
The other side also lost its cool, having been called for several technical and unsportsmanlike fouls that even led to the ejection of Italy coach Gianmarco Pozzecco.“The attitude is very important for us and we played together and faster. I’m very happy today, because the Dominican Republic never beat Italy in history, for us, it’s something unbelievable,” remarked Garcia.
“I’m happy because you know when we’re gonna play, they are like my sons, they follow my instructions,” raved the coach. — Rappler.com
