halftime- Fiba Asia Hk vs RP

At the half of the middle game of the Evening Session of the FIBA Asia Championship, upstart Hong Kong finds itself leading over the Philippines, 33-28. 

Observations:

-Hong Kong's pick and roll game has saved them from a poor perimeter shooting game. Center Duncan Reid has scored on several easy excursions to the hoop courtesy of sharp passes of the former British Territory's guards. Hong Kong's wingmen have also scored on a few easy swings to the basket. These kinds of conversations are cardinal sins in a game as low scoring as the one we have tonight.

-The Philippines is being horribly late on defensive switches. Furthermore, the Philippines has not been all that diligent on cutting to the basket. Perimeter thermometer reads ICE COLD, so the Nationals would be best served to exploit the slashin prowess of Jason Castro and Gabe Norwood of off Marcus Douthit double teams. 

-Draw fouls. Take hits. Gilas needs this.

Box out box out box out. 

-Winner will be the higher scorer in a race to 65.
