MANILA, Philippines – Gilas Pilipinas leaned on timely buckets by Justin Brownlee to ward off Korean Basketball League side Changwon LG Sakers, 86-81, in a tune-up game ahead of the Asian Games on Friday, September 22.
Brownlee scored 7 of his game-high 19 points in the fourth quarter as the Nationals – buoyed a loud Filipino crowd at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig – scored a morale-boosting victory before they fly to Hangzhou, China. June Mar Fajardo backstopped Brownlee with 16 points, Calvin Oftana produced a 13-point, 11-rebound double-double, while Scottie Thompson put up 11 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists.
