Big win for the Nationals, who improve to a 4-1 slate.
Improvements over the course of the ballgame:
-Gilas finally realized late the 3rd that with poor shooting, comes a need to take the ball to the rack. LA Tenorio started the rally with some big plays by drawing defenses to one side of the paint then making nifty passes, or knocking in timely lay-ins. Marcus Douthit came up huge off of low post excursions, at times scoring at well against a clearly undersized Hong Kong frontline.
Smart decision- Gilas lessened the outside swing passes, and instead cut more to the hole.
They could benefit from slightly reduced isolation plays though, with taller and more fundametally sound players from Iran and China lying in wait.
-More aggressiveness going to the hole. When the perimeter game goes sour, sweet forays to the hoop always create for more primary conversions and second chance points.
Here's to Gilas' continued success!
